    A verified PAU05 purchaser (Amazon) said he had success installing
    Xubu with the PAU05, and a Panda-help tech (after my lament)
    installed Xubu 14,04.4 on an in-house computer using the PAU05 and
    was successful. Installing 14.04.4 on my dv7t seems to reset "1:
    brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN" to "Hard blocked: yes", and that setting was
    resistant to change on my computer.

    Mt dv7t has no finger accessible Wifi switch, and the dv7t continued
    to use the PAU05 while running W7. From dv7t:

    tcb at dv7C:~$ rfkill list all
    0: phy0: Wireless LAN
         Soft blocked: no
         Hard blocked: no
    1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
         Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes <-------
    2: phy1: Wireless LAN
         Soft blocked: no
         Hard blocked: no


Post the output of:
   lsusb # in a Terminal

"brcmwl" looks like a Broadcom chipset. AFAIK they always need firmware 
BLOBs.

Also might give you an idea what went wrong:
   dmesg | grep -i wifi

----

My dv7t now boots into W7 and Mint 17.3.
