I just bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G3 Notebook PC i7, and installed Ubuntu 15.04 on it, but after installation it's not giving me any options for connecting with Wi-Fi. I have tried every possible solution available on Stack Overflow and the Internet.

Kindly update me with the possible solution or may I switch to Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) or another version to get it working properly?

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:3165] (rev 81)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:4010]

PS: When I don't do anything on the system, and leave it alone, it goes to sleep, but on moving the mouse it just blinks again and again with the login screen. Why is it so?

  • You tried "every possible solution" without even knowing the adapter model? ;-)

I suggest installing Ubuntu 14.04.3.

After you install the system, connect to internet by wire and upgrade the kernel by running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily

Wi-Fi should work after reboot.

Ubuntu 14.04.4 will support this adapter out-of-the-box. It will be released soon. You do not need to deliberately upgrade to it. Just install regular updates.

  • Okay thanks :) i will update after doing it and that blinking issue is because of? Feb 3, 2016 at 11:16
  • This is another issue. If it persists on the new system, then you are welcome to ask another question.
