Hi, all. Just got a new Thinkpad, and needless to say, tried to fire it up on the network. Ubuntu 14.04 didn't have the driver, so I tried 14.10, which did. I thought I was good until I tried to connect; the laptop would see all the advertised WAPs, but wouldn't connect to any of them (including my security-free ones). I then downloaded the 3.19 RC and tried that -- same deal. I see a few extra git commits in -next; any idea if that will be of any assistance? Is there anything I can dig through in my logs to help flesh out what the problem is?
Logs are always helpful. As some of us do not use Ubuntu, a kernel version as shown by 'uname -r' is a lot more helpful that what version of Ubuntu you are using.
Kernel 3.19-rc4 from the wireless-drivers repo contains all those commits in -next, and it works fine here. At this point, I have been connected for 27 hours with a WPA2 connection.
You can also try the repo at http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi-new.git. The master branch should be OK. If not, try the troy branch.
