I can't speak for the gnome parts of intrepid, but I was impressed by
how well the kernel played with my HP dv2416 us laptop. out of the box
the following things worked:
- BCM 4311 rev 2 wireless (had to build wireless compat to get that to
work right in hardy)
- nvidia Wired Ethernet
- backlight brightness (never worked in hardy)
- sound
- suspend to disk

unfortunately, suspend to ram seems to suffer from some sort of SATA bug.
