Re: [BLUG] Xfinity, Ubuntu woes

I wonder if there's some laptop-mode thing that's causing issues.  Things that come to mind are wlan power-saving mode and rfkill.  Speaking of which, what's rfkill say when you're struggling?

Also, could you clarify "works" and "doesn't work"?  Do you mean that you can't get even get it to scan for access points, or just that it won't connect (or something else)?  If the former, what's "iwlist wlan2 scan" tell you (when it's otherwise not working)?

Cttoi, I'm left wondering why your is adapter wlan2...  This might suggest some sort of driver issue, I guess?  What's "ifconfig -a | grep wlan" tell you?

So just putting it in lock is fine, but suspend or reboot starts the fight to get connected.

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.

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