wireless mouse and wifi?

Post by elmarts »

I had an interesting apparent conflict - WPA2 network with a broadcast SSID refusing to complete connection if I had a wireless mouse connected to my t61 laptop. I unplugged the mouse, rebooted, and it connected fine. Anyone else have this interaction? Any clue why the 2 wifi's conflict? Mint 18 btw.
