I have a Dell laptop with an Intel 2200BG which has worked flawlessly under Dapper, Edgy, Feisty, Gutsy, Hardy and now Intrepid. This is a machine that is constantly moving between networks (home, office, freinds' places, etc) and switching between wired and wireless connection. On this machine, the wifi interface is not noticably less stable than the wired conenction. My wife has a Dell laptop (currently running Hardy and running Feisty before that) with 2100 wifi. This one isn't flawless. About once a month it will loose its mind and need to be kicked by doing "/etc/init.d/networking restart" but its definitely more than adequate. I am not downplaying your problems, just suggesting that the problems you are seeing are not as widespread as you suggest. > Intrepid is a pain also for webcams and tablet (xournal is affected by a Is there a reason you are running Intrepid and not Hardy, the LTS release? Also try installing from scratch instead of doing an upgrade.
