> Outside La Trobe Eduroam works just fine.
I suspect LTUwireless2 and Eduroam are effectively the same network
but uses different user authentication.
I thought so too especially as a visitor from Spain can't access Eduroam here but could two days ago in Madrid. Eduroam should be the same world wide but obviously there is something screwy with this one.
R U able to try a second USB wifi adapter on the Lenovo, and see how
it works?
I don't have one, I will see if I can borrow one and try that.
That would eliminate the networking stack on your laptop
and point to a problem between the iwlwifi driver and the LaTrobe
network.
I don't believe it can be the network stack as this box has been connected by wifi to a 3COM wireless router for the last 2 days and the connection is rock solid, but it is always worth checking.
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.
Denial is useful sometimes!!
Isn't it just.
> As I discovered recently, unattended upgrades on Ubuntu can lead to
problems! .. Do you have unattended upgrade set up on the laptop?
No I upgrade them by hand about twice a week and mostly do them both at the same time.
But I am willing to bet something changed on the network.
Me too, but finding out what could be fun.
Can you try booting a LiveCD on the Lenovo?
Next time I am in the office I will try that.
