Intrepid Ibex (8.10) Moves to 2.6.27

After considerable discussion on ubuntu-devel mailing list, and in the Ubuntu Kernel Team's last IRC meeting, we've made the move to 2.6.27 for Intrepid in the hopes that it will provide a more robust experience for our users.

The source package was just uploaded to the archive for building, so in about 24 hours, we should so it on mirrors.

Hi Ben,

Great news, lets get testing!

I dont know who to ask, so I will try you: Do you know if the kernel in intrepid will include the kernel modules for wireless and wired network that will make it work out of the box with the newer eeepcs (901 1000, etc ?)
I know mandriva has included these in its cooker, so I am curious about ubuntu.

I'm stoked my EEE's wireless should work without specific svn snapshot or ndiswrapper. Thanks!
