I would like to report that upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 disabled both 3D
acceleration and wifi on my Acer Aspire 5100 notebook. Here is an
excerpt from lscpi:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 
200M]
06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC 
(rev 01)

Both required proprietary drivers to work properly and none are
presently available. It is strange that Jockey will tell me that the
fglrx driver is available but I cannot activate it. I am assuming that
this is some leftover from the upgrade.

It is really unfortunate to loose all that functionality on an otherwise
nice notebook. Perhaps in the future new upgrades will actually make
things work better, not worse.
