Hmmm...   switched to EoP and gave up on Wifi.   I also gave up on
Elementary... just wanted plain Gnome and a distro that couldn't do that
seems backwards and I was tired of bugs....  now I have all new bugs!

I will try to give the Wifi a test.   I didn't see anything about realtek
in the changelog, but I'm running 4.0.  Do you need a 4.0 test or just 4.1?
