   OK, it's gonna take a while.  The ubuntu load is working, sorta, and I've got   
   it   
   running some stuff.  As soon as that clears out I'll attempt to split the drive   
   up and install ubuntu, leap, and tw on the drive.  Right now when I install one   
   it gleefully deletes anything it can find and grabs the whole drive.

   As I said earlier, the wifi around here inhales.  It could easily take much   
   more   
   than 21 seconds to connect.  It could take half an hour, and has.  It's also   
   been longer than that.   
      
   > My initial guess is that the firmware file (rtl8821aefw.bin) is different,   
   you could compare them.   
   > If that's not it, it is the kernel.   
   > You should post this info on the bugzilla.   
      
   Once I get things sort of straightened out I'll be back with results.   
      
   Thanks for your help.
