Public bug reported:
This fails in a similar manner from 16.04 to 18.04, in both gnome and
unity where applicable. Details of failure in 18.04:
System always boots in airplane mode, no matter what. When you disable
it and go to turn the wifi on in system settings, it hangs while doing
so, but sometimes works and shows wifi, though it usually doesn't. I
can't reproduce the cause of success of failure, but the wifi settings
menu does immediately stop updating new networks after this point no
matter what. The wifi menu in the top right never works at all.
How I know it's not a hardware issue:
It works in windows
It works in WICD
People say it works in other distros
It shows up under lshw -C network as expected
How I know it's not a firmware issue:
It works in other distros
It works in WICD
How I know it's not a driver issue:
It's natively supported in the kernel after an open source driver that worked
for everyone was merged (which no one could get properly with Ubuntu's network
manager)
It shows up under lshw -C network as expected
It works with WICD
This is the default wifi card for a ton of new Lenovo laptops, so this
is actually a serious issue.
