Hi folks, I have a bit of a problem. Without doing any updates (unless there was an automatic one that I can't remember), the wifi on my brand-new Thinkpad x220 has started dropping the connection every 10 minutes or so, and ESPECIALLY if I let it go to sleep. The network manager in gnome thinks it's still connected, so I can't just hit reconnect. But turning the wifi off and then back on, or using the hardware switch to power-cycle the radio restores connectivity for a while, but it inevitably drops again.
At first I thought it was a network congestion issue, but changing wifi channels hasn't helped, and the issue doesn't occur on my girlfriend's laptop, nor on either of our phones. So, I'm ruling that one out.
I'm running F16 with Gnome 3, with intel 6205 (centrino) wireless card. Running kernel 3.3.7-1.fc16.x86_64.
Tried updating to kernel 3.4 to see if that helped, but that just gives me kernel panic (going to start a separate thread for this).
Nothing in dmesg, this is seriously puzzling. Please help!
