Bug Description
Marvell WiFi on Surface Pro 2 does not work in a fresh install of 14.04 with 3.13.0-24 kernel. I had the same issue in 12.04, but others reported that this was resolved in Raring http://

And system surely recognises the Marvell WiFi:

But when creating a new WiFi connection using network manager, the only mac address it sees is that of my external D-Link receiver.
