But did it work with a 4.2 kernel? I have seen reports that it doesn't work with 4.2 as stated in your question – Jeremy31 Feb 11 '16 at 21:51
Extremely sorry Sir @Jeremy31 .. I installed Linuxmint 17.3 with
3.19.0-32-generic Kernel ... So WiFi driver is working now. Thank you sir. – Dipankar Nalui Feb 13 '16 at 02:49
