spong's questions

I recently upgraded my Thinkpad T60 from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10. My wireless worked on 11.04 without a problem. Using 11.10, it detects all the wireless networks available, but will not connect to it. It does however connect to any non-encrypted network. My wireless network uses WPA2-Personal.

The problem is not my wireless network, as my other devices can connect to it properly.

How can I get my Thinkpad T60's wireless working again on 11.10?

The wireless interface is a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection from Intel Corporation.

Threads I'm following on Ubuntu Forum:

• Having trouble connecting to WPA after upgrade to 11.10
• [64 bit] Can't connect to wireless after 11.10 upgrade

I posted a Wireless issue too:

• Intel 3956ABG wireless not working with WPA

I have a BOINC Manager installed contributing to World Community Grid.

Is there a way to set this to run as a screensaver visually in Ubuntu?

I'm running Ubuntu on my Thinkpad T60. Is there a way to get the middle button to act like a scroll like it would when it runs Windows?

I'd like to be able to hold the middle button down and scroll down a webpage using the red button.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) on my Lenovo Thinkpad T60. I randomly get screen flickerings on my screen. Once it happens, it doesn't go away (unless I reboot my computer). I would describe the flickering as horizontal color lines appearing throughout the screen where the text is difficult to read everywhere.

I ran the following to see what video card is installed:

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400

My question is: what's wrong and how do I fix it?
