wireless - Ethernet (intermittent) +wifi (not working) in 14.04 on HP Elitebook 725

I have purchased an HP Elitebook 725 and installed Ubuntu to dual boot with Windows. Initially I installed 14.10 but, following discussion at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254816, I have installed instead 14.04. On both 14.04 and 14.10 the wifi is not working and the ethernet is intermittent (by which I mean I can ping some sites and not others and can occasionally connect to a website with firefox but only by repeated use of Crlt-R).



Below I past the output of the wireless script from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108



I am way out of my depth but nevertheless would like to have the wifi working (and ethernet if possible). After three days of trying to solve this problem I seem to be no further forward, and would appreciate any help or advice. With grateful thanks, Martin.
