Another new element

My daughter's got a rather old HP PC (Compaq 6510b, released in April 2009) which works beautifully with LTS version 10.04.
Unfortunately this version is not maintained any more, so I proposed her to install the latest one 16.04 32b.
And same problem again, Wifi does not work.

I've got a strong suspicion that there is a major problem with wifi on
this version because:

I (or a PC integrator) have tried on PCs 64 bits UEFI
HP, Asus, Toshiba and NO wifi

I've tried on PC 32 bits non UEFI
Compaq 6510b and NO wifi

As a summary: Wifi does not work on PCs 32 or 64 bits UEFI or not
I let you conclude. 

Thx for your help because it would be a pity to have to switch to W10 on
wifi because this is precisely what I would like to avoid!

Title:
  Wifi works on W10 but not on Ub 16.04 nor 14.04

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi
  I just bought a laptop "HP Envy x360 15-w100nf". Everything's fine except wifi
  - It works on w10
  - but not on Ub 16.04 / 4.4.0-15 / 64 bits
  - nor Ub 14.04

  I've spent hours of discussions and tests on wifi forum
  URL = https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1987186
  (unfortunately it's in French but command line tests are quite understandable)

  Now I think nobody can help me on the forum because we've tried everything, that's why I assume it's a bug.
  I'm ready to make every test which could help solving this problem

  In the meantime, have a nice day (actually a nice night ... in France !)
