My 15 month old 17" MacBook Pro has also started to fail to connect to wifi networks since SL was installed. Unplugging the modem and restarting the computer after the modem has powered up again seems to be the solution.

I've found a brand new 13" MacBook Pro which I upgraded to SL has
started failing to connect to wifi networks here at work and at home.

However,  it is possibly a problem with this particular computer as
the hard drive makes nasty noises whenever the laptop is moved
slightly and it was freezing for 10-20 seconds at a time even under
10.5 ever since it came out of the box.

After I check a clean re-install doesn't fix the issues, it'll be back
for warranty repair methinks.

Another bit of annoying behaviour is the disdain with which SL treats
preferences. Or does that qualify as arrogance?

I know these are trivial, but Snow Leopard (on Intel Mac Pro) has
been
treating my custom icons with contempt.  Every day one or more of
them, randomly, it seems, is replaced with the generic icon.

Also, there are 2 displays attached to my Mac and I have always set
the desktop pictures to change once a day, randomly.  However, they
now seem to be stuck on the same 2 pictures.  Sometimes a different
one comes up, and then a second later, flicks back to the same old
one.

It's not life threatening, but annoying, still.

Cheers,
Pat
