How do I get the wifi working on my Lenovo Flex 6 14"?
When I first installed Ubuntu 18.04 the wireless adapter wasn't recognized. Then I found another post:
Lenovo Flex 6 14" wifi driver
I did as the post recommended. I disabled secure boot. I had one magical night where the wifi worked and I was able to install chrome and even sync my Google account data.
However, ever since then the WiFi networks are recognized for a minute or two at best, before they dissapear. Once they dissapear I have to restart my computer to try to get a glimpse of them again. At best, networks become visible for a short time before dissapearing. How might I fix this?
