With Ubuntu 15.10 (default kernel 4.2), 9350 almost works out of box, except this DW1820A wireless card. It has been a few days, I still couldn't get the wireless card working. From what I have read on Linux Wireless, BCM4350 driver is queued to be included in kernel 4.4. That's a long wait.
If you go to Additional Drivers, is the proprietary driver enabled for broadcom? (If so in the future please always mention in your messages what you have tried so far).
Thanks for the details. I am on a fresh install of 15.04 and although there are some issues with the wifi drivers it works for the most part. All I did was enable the proprietary drivers.
Did it work for you before 15.10?
What is the temporary workaround you are using? These little guys work amazingly well (plug-and-play):
I know the OP asked about WiFi, but for those of you who have the 9350, have you found workarounds for power management functions like suspend/hibernate/etc. not working out of the box?
Since my 9350 is currently on the way, I am also interested in this. I could try to backport the firmware, however, I have never done that before. So if compiling goes wrong, I will probably not be able to get this error fixed.
Anyhow, does anybody know if the firmware is compiled into the kernel? B/c I think compiling your own Kernel is a bad idea for Kernel updates will most likely break the firmware again. If it lies outside the Kernel I could try it.
No suspend hasn't worked so far. Almost everything else worked fine (sound, mic, touchscreen, trackpad, keyboard). WiFi DID NOT work out of the box, but just replace the WiFi card with the superior intel 7265.
