I doubt it. Wifi stability is a function of a lot of variables including hardware in your machine and in router/modems.Jimmyfd wrote:Not much beside better wi-fi which is some what unstable right now, at least I hope wi-fi become more stable.
there are several threads on that in this forum that might be worth your time to explore.

I have an older radeon board, r430, and restarting Xserver through KDM would sometimes hang, and sometimes X would not start on a cold boot, with No Screen Found, No Device Found etc. (workaround - # service restart kdm). It seems much more stable using only backported kernel 4.6millpond wrote:I use 3.16 on both 32 bit single core, and 64b C2Q systems. With an ancient 4350 ATI Radeon card.
I would really like to know what * advantages* a newer kernel could provide on an older system.
As the system aint broke, really trying to understand reasons to fix it....
On this little Dell, the intel driver had some similar issues, so the xserver-xorg-video-intel-2016520-bpo with the 4.6 kernel has been a good fix.
I started using backports back on squeeze, it can let you maintain an older system without upgrading so often IMO. I still have a wheezy machine running the 3.16 backport that must be three years now?

I think last LTS could be a good choice,
I was using before 4.8.8 and then 4.8.12, Now im using 4.4.34, i checked that it works better than 4.8 brach in my old pc,
My conclusion..> Dont upgrade kernel if your's version performance very well, from vesion to version i find differents behaviors as for performance, and i would say than even for stability you can find differences. So, i decided to stay in that version for long.

Yes,I tried to see,pylkko wrote:...but 4.9 was released 3 hours ago
In my computer It does some things faster, but at the same time it has a weird behavior experience user, For example, sending a Mail from akonadi_maildispacher_agent, it was retained some anormal seconds before it was released. The latence response is also kind of extrange when browsing internet
It has a abrupt render response, so at the moment i give upt this kernel, and going back to 4.4.37 (This last kernel, suits at the perfection my computer, im very very happy with it). I Think i will wait for 4.10 that will be a merge from 4.9, and for then Stretch will be stable, and things will fix better, im sure.
