Dilton McGowan II,

     You are welcome, and I think I was just doing what I should do.
That might be how the open source project works.

     And regarding the BIOS upgrade, my Dell PCs have UEFI and support
to upgrade BIOS directly from BIOS using the windows upgrade file when
power on. That's why I could upgrade it even I didn't have Windows
installed. You might check if you are lucky enough to have that option
in your BIOS. And you could also try to use a USB stick to run a
temporary Windows image, but it might need some extra work I think.

     I've submitted another ticket in order to upload necessary
information to Canonical. You can subscribe to it.

Title:
  3.13.0-53-generic breaks networking after 3-5 minutes

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  I did the usual update with the graphical updater, it asked me to
  reboot. I did, after logging back in things looked OK for a few short
  minutes then networking completely stopped.

  After several warm reboots and a cold reboot I saw it was still doing
  the same thing. I tried switching wired off and went to wireless,
  (edit) the wireless (I remembered later) did not work. Perhaps if I'd
  disabled/reenabled networking and switched to wireless fast it may
  have.

  I found that I could Disable networking then reenable and networking
  would work again for a few minutes.

  I finally booted into the previous kernel 3.13.0-52-generic and it's
  working since I'm here.

  This same hardware, no changes has worked for around 2 years without
  issue.
