I just installed EOS Hera 5 on the Thinkpad T460 and EOS runs fine so far but for one issue: The wifi gets dropped and picks up in irregular intervals - which is more than annoying. I tried the Broadcom proprietary driver install, the battery save settings in BIOS and EOS but nothing works. Only when I use my cell as a hotspot will it work fine.
