Public bug reported:

Hi all, 
I found this thread and I had to join in because I got the same issue with my brand new MSI GS70 2QE gaming notebook.
I have managed to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 in dual boot along side windonw 8.1 with UEFI and secure boot enabled.
To switch between OS I got 2 ways, is either go to the BIOS and chnge the BBS HDD drive order form windows to ubuntu or I let the notebook boot normaly till GRUB comes up and choose from there if i want windows or ubuntu to boot, for that matter i use GRUB method.
Now when I am in Ubuntu every works fine but my wi-fi, if I use an RJ45 cable i do get internet though.

The issuing of the comand "ifconfig -a" is as follow:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 44:8a:5b:6e:ec:2c

as you can see no wlan or wlan0 showing up.

The "lspci" command gives me this:

05:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 003e (rev 20)

therefore I cannot figure out how to get my wi-fi working, I installed
the lastest kernel 3.18.0-031800rc3-generic and run apt-get update and
upgrade but with no result.

Is sad that i cannot get wi-fi in ubuntu since i use it quite a lot in
ssh, SFTP and the like since i do code in it.

Lastly if can be of any help when i boot ubuntu before the user screen
password appears i do get this message:

2.065748 Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x000002000.dfu
2.065781 Bluetooth: Loading path file failed

EDIT: Just to add anoter issue when in Ububtu the integrated GPU does not kick in and my lapton uses the dscrate GPU card (GTX 970M) instead, i can see that because whenever time the power bottom is red means that the notebook is using the Nvidia card.
Is not a big deal but If you guys now why i cannot use the HD 4600 integrated card would be nice, so i can save some battery power.

Thanks for the help, if you need more information just ask I will do
anything i can to help you figure out the problem
