I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my new Alienware m17 R3 laptop.
- Ethernet model : Killer E3000 PCI-e Gigabit Ethernet Controller

my current linux kernel is 4.15.0-45-generic
I tried as the answer followed https://askubuntu.com/a/1028199/1098923
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git
cd backport-iwlwifi
make defconfig-iwlwifi-public
sed -i 's/CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS=y/# CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS is not set/' .config
make -j4
sudo make install
but it doesn't work.
sudo apt-get upgrade also doesn't work for me.
