I dual booted ubuntu 14.04 alongside windows 8.1 in january and everything was working fine for a while. After about four months, ubuntu's wireless stopped working entirely, and quite soon even wired networking was not functioning. Reinstalling ubuntu does NOT seem to fix the problem.
I figured ubuntu might be the problem so I removed it and installed linux mint cinnamon edition 17.2 alongside windows. Wired networking worked, though wireless was still not operational. Upon restarting mint, wired stopped working again.
Wired and wireless work just fine in windows and I have no problems with it.
Here is the output of
ifconfig command on linux mint:
