[Bug 1436891] Re: Cannot connect to any WiFi access point which runs wireless-N

 

Update:

Bug exists in first Vivid version (3.16.0-23.31) that's readily
available in pre-packaged .deb format.  So I need to start building
kernels, I presume, to check 3.16.0-0.1 (since I don't yet have a "good"
kernel within Vivid) and bisect from there.

I'm still trying to figure out how to build specific versions.  Or, how
to find a commit corresponding to the start of Vivid.

I also tried Utopic's 3.16.0-34.45, and the bug is not present there --
I can connect to wifi N just fine with that one.  I presume that the
versions for Utopic and Vivid don't map directly onto each other?
