iwl driver does not show as mature as previous ipw driver. It would be nice, for a LTS, to add the possibility of using "old" but good ipw driver in restricted drivers manager.
iwl driver have poor sensibility (lots of ap's seen in windows laptop at the same place not seen in Hardy, 98% signal strenght versus 80% close to the AP and so on).
iwl does not suspend correctly (hangs just after disabling PCI irq for 3945 ABG device... just before syncing disks: Bad for FS).
Anyway, Hardy is a real deception comming from Dapper: Eye candy, but lot of little problems for a LTS version due to the integration of non mature elements (iwl, but also pulseaudio...).
I hope fixes soon indeed... or I'll leave ubuntu after more thant 2 years.
