This might be a good bug report to consider<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1419341">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1419341</a><br>
<br>
Various respondents have suggested either a bios upgrade or possible
hardware issues. The person who posted the bug report used a USB
extension cord with his usb wifi modem, without success. I doubt
that the problem is hardware related, since your lsusb confirms the
wifi's existence.<br>
<br>
Drivers and commands for your peripheral might be found in newer
kernels. The command 'uname -r' will give your computer's kernel
version. A newer kernel (I'm on 4.6.x, which is stable) can be
compiled independently or downloaded through repository. Google
'canonical-kernel-team' for instructions on how to use a ppa to
obtain newer kernels by repository. <br>

<p>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 "<span>1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN" to "Hard
blocked: yes", and that setting was resistant to
change on my computer. {<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>"brcmwl" looks like a Broadcom chipset. AFAIK they

<div>Also might give you an idea what went wrong:</div>

My dv7t now boots into W7 and Mint 17.3.<br>
