I upgraded to Utopic (from Ubuntu Gnome 14.04) on my Thinkpad T440 and
wifi worked without any problems. However, after about a day and a half
the system started freezing after using wifi for a few minutes (if I
turn the wifi off, then it doesn't freeze), which is the same thing that
had happened to me when I installed Larry's driver on 14.04.

I should also mention that the Ubuntu 14.04 from which I upgraded was a
clean install without Larry's driver, so the wifi didn't work, but
everything else worked fine.

Let me know if you want logs or anything.
