[Arthur Lutz <arthur.lutz@xxxxxxx>]

For some reason this bug fixed itself on it's own. I was about to burn
an ISO to upgrade the BIOS (which apparently working in wine, so no need
to have a windows machine).   I left the laptop run out of batteries and
then it stayed without power for a few days. The next time I booted it
up, the wifi was working out of the box ! I'm not sure what happenned
but maybe the BIOS got reset or something.

  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  switching to willy kernel seems to partly solve the problem
  # uname -a
  Linux pro 4.2.0-25-generic #30~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 16:25:56 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  the fn key seems to toggle the "Soft blocked" attribute. So still no
  wifi. This looks similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/709377/wi-
