Dear Group, I have two Linux laptops with the latest updates to the most recent LTS Ubuntu distribution.
1). Samsung netbook. This uses the Broadcom wl wifi driver and works fine all the time everywhere. 2). Lenovo W520. This uses the iwlwifi driver and works on every network I have tried it on except Latrobe University. I have tried both LTUwireless2 or Eduroam. It is impossible to keep a connection to either of these (in La Trobe) for longer than about 2 minutes. Outside La Trobe Eduroam works just fine. The configuration settings are the same on both boxen. Up until a few months ago the W520 worked fine on the La Trobe network. IT support claim that no Linux box can connect to their wifi or ever could. As I was using it with the Samsung half an hour ago I know this is false. Obviously something has changed but where to start looking, is it my driver, my hardware or has something changed on the network and if so what. Ideas most welcome Stripes
