Hi! Want to thank you for the reply. Gave it a shot; no dice. See

Hi, all. Just got a new Thinkpad, and needless to say, tried to fire

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.
Sorry; I'll be more specific going forward. Current kernel I'm using is
3.19.0-rc7-next-20150204. The included driver did not work:

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.
I tried both branches; they both failed identically:
