I've searched google, forums, found a couple of relevant links that point to the issue being the Intel drivers. http://askubuntu.com/questions/53962...E2%86%92-14-10 http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/ubunt...ent-1652086424 But the drivers currently in 14.10 should be newer than those supplied by Intel to 14.04 so that doesn't make sense to me. As one Intel developer wrote: "I would like to point out that since what we do is bring more ecent versions of the software to the target distributions than they ship with, a 14.04 targeted installer is unlikely to bring much to a 14.10 installation, which most likely has the same or more recent versions already anyway."
