I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my Alienware 17 R3, which comes with Killer Wireless-AC 1535 WiFi card. The WiFi hardware seems to be detected but no WiFi hotspots are being detected.
I learnt somewhere that updating to the latest kernel would fix the problem. The kernel verison according to uname -r is 4.4.0-22-generic. Is a more recent version of kernel required?
Any help regarding this would greately help me since I will have to start my development asap and Linux is the go-to platform where I work.
Thanks
