After installing Elementary Loki 0.4.1 on my new HP-15bs015dx laptop, the wireless was not working at all, no wifi adapter was even detected. I then had to manually install drivers for my hardware, using Larry Finger's rtlwifi_new git repository, via dkms.

After rebooting, my wifi adapter is now detected, but the network settings tell me "wireless is disabled; enable wireless to discover nearby wireless access points."
