I have just installed Fedora_22 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400 laptop. I cannot get the networking to work, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. I can turn Wi-Fi on, and I can see the Wi-Fi servers. When I connect to mine, it just sits there trying to connect until it times out. I tried connecting with an invalid Wi-Fi password, and it prompted me for the correct one, so it is validating this, but not connecting. When I look at dmesg, I see a bunch of messages about authenticating and deauthinticating to a MAC address. This MAC address matches the address of my router except for the last number, which is 87, and should be 86. Fedora_22 no longer has /var/log/messages. I had some difficulties when I did the install from DVD. A screen came up and said "Oh no! Something has occurred and the system can't recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution." I searched the web and I removed xorg-x11-drv-libinput. This got the install working. I removed it from the actual installed computer, as per the instructions on the website. I was having network problems both before and after I did this. Has anybody seen anything like this? Fedora_20 was a fairly easy install for ordinary mortals. Fedora_22 seems to be a huge step backwards. Thanks. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca howard.gibson@teledyneoptech.com jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've seen this with Linux Mint Debian Edition (the first release from March 2014); I bypassed the problem by assigning a static IP address to the laptop (Asus netbook) for that particular location. I believe the access point is at fault in my case, since the Asus netbook has no trouble connecting to APs at other locations. - --Bob.
