By additional problems with the Wifi
gksudo gedit /etc/modules
Add at the end:

And save.
Wired Networking
If you experience problems with wired network:
Strip of network and power Remove battery
And
Install the battery Plug in network and power
Not a joke. ;)
Problems with Shutdown
By problems with the shutdown:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/halt
Add a new line after "### END INIT INFO"
rmmod snd-hda-intel
Can't mount the SD Device
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Comment (# /media/cdrom0) or delete the line starts with
/media/cdrom0
Sound
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel
delete everything else that is in there and add:

Use small Fonts:

clocksource=hpet
