He should also try the 16.04 and/or 16.03.3 installer just to see if
the 4.4 or later kernel has the support.  From what I could tell, that
model has an newer Intel NIC and if he's using the older 14.04
installing with the 3.13 kernel, the support just may not be there.

Download a 14.04.5 ISO image and try booting and installing from that,
and verify that the install environment is using the 4.4 kernel as
well. (I haven't done an ISO based install in forever, so I honestly
don't remember if the .5 installer uses the 4.4 kernel or not.
