I don't know if this helps but I also have Kubuntu 16.04.2 installed on the same machine with:
uname -a Linux aes-Inspiron-15-3567 4.8.0-58-generic #63~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 26 18:08:51 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux and wifi is working out-of-the-box on that. If you still want me to test with the kernel you've suggested, could you please explain how I could install it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702685 Title: No wifi connectivity with kernel 4.4.0-83 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1702685/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
