During a recent install of Xubuntu, discussed in detail in my
next-most-recent post to this list, I found a problem with defects
in a later version of the Linux kernel.
No WiFi networking was the problem. After searching and finding
that the correct Intel drivers were installed, having read
someplace about kernel issues, I booted with the 4.10.0-28-generic
version of the kernel - rather than the default 4.13.0-26 generic
version. Magically, WiFi networking came to life.
I hesitate to update, fearing that the usable version of the
kernel will disappear, which also leaves me stuck with a kernel
with no patching for spectre and meltdown.
How does one let developers / maintainers know about this
difficulty.
Background: this is on a new, Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 4 laptop. The
problem item:
lspci -vv -s 04:00.0 tells me:
Network Controller Intel Corp Wireless 8260
Kernel driver: iwlwifi
Kernel Modules:iwlwifi

I had a similar situation. Went to upgrade 16.04 to 17.10,
accomplished the intermediate update to 17.04 ok but the upgrade to
17.10 failed so badly I had to start over. When installing 17.04 I
could not get an internet connection. Solved the problem by burning
a xubuntu 17.10.1 disc and everything went smoothly. So it sounds
like the wifi problems have cropped up in many instances.
