JPedro, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.52). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.52 regression-release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993585 Title: Dropping WLAN connection every 7-10 minutes Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Kern.log says this May 2 23:52:29 jpt-ThinkPad-SL410 kernel: [ 2040.220779] wlan0: deauthenticating from ca:6c:87:ab:dc:2c by local choice (reason=3) And then continues to associate again with the AP, I have seen suggestions that power off for interface powermanagment was a working work around, but it does not work in my case.
