An unfortunate warning to all Thinkpad owners: Lenovo is whitelisting all of its radio components (supposedly due to FCC regulatory demand), meaning your cannot switch you "old" Intel wireless adapter that easily without getting a dreaded BIOS error telling you to check on the card (i.e. the system locks up and doesn't boot anymore). The only way around this are BIOS hacks to either disable whitelisting completely or enable each individual card's signature.
All in all, for a regular Thinkpad user, exchanging the radio component isn't an option. You have been warned. PS: All the more reason to give Intel shit about this bug still not being fixed.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/836250 Title: [Oneiric] [Regression] Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 poor networking, packet loss and very slow Lenovo X201 and T500 laptops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/836250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
