I hate myself for not reading the release notes for Intrepid. I upgraded an old laptop earlier and my wireless dropped out. I could see my neighbours - just not mine.

After about 2 hours I read the release notes - and channel 13 is not working by default in Intrepid (which for some reason I use). A quick copy paste and magic, working wireless.

Since I began using Arch I always read the release notes before doing an upgrade on my system, never know when something will break.

They should show the release notes before install like Opensuse. No one reads them in their current location. You can't count the number of times I've linked to them in help threads.
