one day it finds the network perfect. The next day it doesn't. The day after that it sees the network but dhcp is being a biotch. Any good suggestions on maintaining a good wireless connection day to day, and reboot after reboot.
Upgrading
Stupid question! Is it easy to upgrade from 8.04 to this version, or any other version for that matter? I'm asking because I was thinking about getting a netbook with it preinstalled (with all the correct drivers I'm assuming) and you can only get it in 8.04, so I would like to upgrade that!
