[Bug 1319366] Re: [Microsoft Surface Pro 2] Marvell 88W8797 not working in 14.04 kernel 3.13.0-24-generic

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Keyvan Mir Mohammad Sadeghi, as per http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/install-update-activate/pro-2-update-history an update to your BIOS is available. If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

  But when creating a new WiFi connection using network manager, the only
  mac address it sees is that of my external D-Link receiver.

- Similar problems have been previously reported and marked as resolved:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1212720
- 
- But the issue in my case is that the WiFi doesn't show up at all.

- Appreciate any help.
