@aline-o :

Thank you so much... WIFI is now also up & running on my Ubuntu studio
laptop (4.2.0 kernel).  I was waiting for that driver for quite some
time... I was surprised to see that the fix was already available for 2
years on github. Thanks for pointing that out on this thread.

The rtbth also got me a bit further but: I now see the bluetooth icon
apear on the system tray. But unfortunately didn't manage to peer with
my smartphone... ("no adapters found"). Not a big problem for me now:
I'm already glad to see WIFI working.

Any idea what it takes to get the WIFI driver into kernel mainline?
