I have the same problem and sometimes just touching the touchpad doesn't work to click in something, then I have to press the left side of the touchpad to click in something. Some minutes after it's working again.

All You need to do is

Install latest kernal 4.1 for linux
[Kernal 4.1.6][1]http://ubuntuportal.com/2015/08/kernel-4-1-6-lts-ubuntu.html

**Reboot**
Now you will find Touchpad setting in your mouse setting which for previously not there

**But incase your Wireless might not work: here is solution**
[Download latest bcmwl or Bradcom wireless Firmware(If it apply to you)]

 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu3/+build/7418309

Download deb file and execute(Open Terminal go to folder path).

**sudo dpkg -i bcmwl*.deb**

Your wireless will now appear.
Thats it.
