Title:
1286:2044 [Microsoft Surface Pro] Marvell 88W8797 wifi does not work
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The wifi/bluetooth chip that the MS Surface Pro uses, a Marvell
avastar 88W8797, does not work properly under Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04.
On 13.04, it will be reported three times in the network manager and
any attempt to connect to any network will fail, regardless of the
settings of the network. Additionally attempting to connect to any of
the three listed connections will cause the system to hang on
shutdown, as well as any attempt to read the state of the network.
