    I've installed Win8 Pro on my 722 - but have a weird problem where I can't connect to the eduroam wireless network anymore (same laptop with Win7 was fine). It works on my home network and in hotels etc fine, however.

    I was just wondering if anyone else has issues with the WLAN adapter using Windows 8?

    Device manager says "Qualcomm Atheros AR5B125 Wireless Network Adapter".
