No Way Know How

The latitude is affected by this kernel bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46894 I should make a UEFI entry for booting to the LTS kernel, but I haven't got around to this yet. So in the meantime I think I'll do what's advised in this page: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/pacman-syu-kernel-update-solved-how-to-ignore-arch-kernel-upgrades and add IgnorePkg = Linux to /etc/pacman.conf so the kernel isn't touched until the mainline resolves the bug. [edit: did this and updated. The next time I booted I had the same problem as before. downgraded the kernel and it worked again. Need to look at moving to LTS kernel, I think]

This has been bothering me for a while, and I've been rebooting to get reconnected. Not a good solution. The following command just worked for me: netctl restart my-network I'll continue testing with this and see if it works out for me. Forums suggest this is a bug with netctl and downgrading to an earlier version of wpa-supplicant might be a fix. [UPDATE] the above command won't work on if the ip interface (for me wlp2s0) is already up - the netctl service won't touch it. To correct: ip link set wlp2s0 down then netctl restart my-network the my-network profile is kept at /etc/netcl/ btw.
