wifi not working on dell inspiron 15 5000 series with ubuntu 14.04

I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop in dual boot mode and cannot get the wifi working. I have tried different backporting solutions suggested on the forums but either they have broken links (most are 2 year old posts).



I did find this answer that is from 2018 but it didn't work either:




  • Wifi not working (Intel) on HP Spectre x360 13


Is there any current working backporting reference guide that I can try or any other way to approach this?



I have found chili555 posts and answers as the most helpful but they did not do the trick for me :)



WiFi card:




  • qualcom atheros QCA9377 on pci slot

  • kernel version: 4.8.14-040814-generic

  • software blocking: no


Thanks for helping!
