Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? This
will help determine if the problem you are seeing is the result of a
regression, and when this regression was introduced.   If this is a
regression, we can perform a kernel bisect to identify the commit that
introduced the problem.

Title:
  [14.04.1] NIC  Qualcomm Atheros Device not working + integreted GPU
  not used

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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 
  inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

  as you can see no wlan or wlan0 showing up.

  The "lspci" command gives me this:

  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
