With my brand new MSI GS70 2QE gaming notebook, my WiFi doesn't work. I installed the lastest kernel 3.18.0-031800rc3-generic and run apt-get update and upgrade but with no result.
WORKAROUND: 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.
Lastly, when i boot Ubuntu before the user screen password appears get the message:
2.065748 Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x000002000.dfu
2.065781 Bluetooth: Loading path file failed
