Title:
  Since kernel updated from 4.13.0-41 to 4.15.0-29, wifi does not work

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hello

  All was working fine until I updated Ubuntu using apt-get and it
  installed Kernel version:

  4.15.0-29-generic

  Now wifi does not work but Ethernet cable connection is still fine.

  If I reboot into the old kernel by selecting it in advanced boot
  options, all is fine.

  Working Kernel version is:

  4.13.0-41-generic

  I am using a Dell Vostro 1540 laptop.

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  All other laptops I use have updated and are fine, including a Dell
  Inspiron.

  Regards

  Jason
