[ubuntu] Intel wireless 8260 UNCLAIMED following "software update" on 14.04.4

Hello,

I have a Dell Precision 5510, running 14.04.4 (with Kernel updated to 3.19.0 for Skylake support).

I used "Ubuntu Software Updater" today and, after a reboot, there is now no option for "enabling wireless" when clicking on the network icon in the taskbar.

Running

Code:

lshw -C network

shows the wireless controller as "UNCLAIMED". However, I have what I believe to be the correct driver installed ("btusb-iwlwifi-intel8260") which shows up under the "Additional Drivers" tab of "Software and Updates".

I ran the wireless info script, and have attached the resulting txt file.

Apologies, if i) the answer is obvious, or ii) I am doing something stupid, but I'm not an advanced user and am not really sure how to proceed.

Any help is much appreciated...
