  A lot of wireless chipsets only work with the latest kernels.  Or so
I understand.  Maybe backported drivers are available.

  There's also the question of security updates, which can be an issue
for things like web browsing.  But one could always download the
stand-alone binary of Firefox from the Mozilla site.
