Awesome, thx for the response [member=2]Jerry[/member]  :D  From the 3.8 release notes, the original 3.8 kernel is 4.4.0-112. I know for sure that I had no Wi-Fi problems when I was on that kernel. ...

I'm intermittently having Wi-Fi issues on LL 3.8 when I never used to before. I've had 3.8 on my machine for a long time - since 3.8 came out in fact, so this is not a new install.  :-\ The problem ju...
