I have a new Alienware R5 laptop, and I'm trying to get the wireless to work on Ubuntu 16.04 (currently, only Ethernet works). How can I get wireless to work on this laptop?

Results of sudo lshw -C network:

I have tried solutions already posted, including using the solution in Alienware 17 R4 Ubuntu 16.04 WiFi driver, but it does not work for me unfortunately. When I run the final step sudo make install, I get the following result (and upon reboot, wifi does not work).

  DEPMOD  4.15.0-43-generic

depmod will prefer updates/ over kernel/ -- OK!

Note:

You may or may not need to update your initramfs, you should if

any of the modules installed are part of your initramfs. To add

support for your distribution to do this automatically send a

patch against "update-initramfs.sh". If your distribution does not

require this send a patch with the '/usr/bin/lsb_release -i -s'

("Ubuntu") tag for your distribution to avoid this warning.



Your backported driver modules should be installed now.

Reboot.

New to Ubuntu, any help greatly appreciated!
