Re: [BLUG] Xfinity, Ubuntu woes

You don't happen to know which wifi adapter your thinkpad has, do you? Some more specific details would help.

I believe putting 'lshw -C network' in a terminal (without quotes) should give you a list of the network bits in your laptop. Don't hold it against me if I'm wrong though, I don't have a linux box with me to try it out on.

Then a Xfinity support person "changed something" and it . . . sort of worked. That means it worked after fiddling with enable, disable, (I'm on Gnome classic). Actually, I don't know what I would do, but eventually it would work. Then I'd put it in suspend, come back . . . and it wouldn't work. Repeat fiddling, rebooting, etc., then it would work. Any ideas what I'm having probs with?
