Doesn't look like linux support is all that great based on the support link you provided but in any case you can try MrEngman's nice WiFi driver install service.
Run the command below to print out the help (-h), then either run it with -c (check if driver available) or run it with no options and it will try to find and install the kernel-specific driver for WiFi adapter thats plugged in.
If it fixes your issue then just remember to run it whenever the kernel is updated.

Code:
pi@rp3:~ $ sudo install-wifi -h
*** Raspberry Pi wifi driver installer by MrEngman.
*** Performing self-update
*** Relaunching after update
*** Raspberry Pi wifi driver installer by MrEngman.
#
# usage:
#
# sudo install-wifi [[-h | --help] |
# [-c | --check [driver] [rpi-update | commit_id]] |
# [-u | --update [driver] [rpi-update | commit_id]] |
# [driver [rpi-update | commit_id]]]
#
# options:
# none - install the driver for the wifi module connected to the Pi for the currently running kernel.
#
# -h|--help - display usage.
#
# -c|--check [driver] [option] - check if a driver is available, does not install it.
# driver - specific driver to check for, one of: 8188eu, 8188fu, 8192eu, 8812au, 8822bu, mt7610 or mt7612
# [option]:- blank - check driver for currently running kernel
# rpi-update - check driver for latest version of rpi-update
# commit-id - check driver for specific commit-id of rpi-update
#
# -u|--update [driver] [option] - update/install driver, can be used after running, but before rebooting, rpi-update
# to update the driver to the one needed for the new kernel installed by rpi-update.
# driver - specific driver to update/install, one of: 8188eu, 8188fu, 8192eu, 8812au, 8822bu, mt7610 or mt7612
# [option]:- blank - update/install driver for currently running kernel
# rpi-update - update/install driver for latest version of rpi-update
# commit-id - update/install driver for specific commit-id of rpi-update
#
# driver [option] - install specific driver, enables installing the driver for a module not currently connected to
# the Pi, or installing a driver for a different module if you want to change your wifi module.
# driver - specific driver to install, one of: 8188eu, 8188fu, 8192eu, 8812au, 8822bu, mt7610 or mt7612
# [option]:- blank - update/install driver for currently running kernel
# rpi-update - update/install driver for latest version of rpi-update
# commit-id - update/install driver for specific commit-id of rpi-update
#
Press any key to continue...
#
# install-wifi examples:
#
# Install/update the wifi driver for the wifi module connected to the Pi for the currently running kernel
#
# sudo install-wifi
#
# If you want to change your wifi module to one using a different driver that is compatible with this script
# you can install the driver for the new wifi module, one of: 8188eu, 8188fu, 8192eu, 8812au, 8822bu, mt7610 or mt7612
# In this example it will install the 8192eu wifi module driver. After installing the driver shutdown the
# Pi, remove the currently connected wifi module and connect the new 8192eu wifi module and restart your Pi
# and it should start up with the new wifi adapter connected to your network.
#
# sudo install-wifi 8192eu - this will install the 8192eu module for the current kernel
#
# if you want to run rpi-update, first check a driver is available before you update your code. If the check
# indicates a driver is available run rpi-update to update the firmware/kernel and then before rebooting
# update the wifi driver.
#
# sudo install-wifi -c rpi-update - check for driver if rpi-update is run.
# sudo rpi-update - if a driver is available you can run rpi-update to update firmware.
# sudo install-wifi -u rpi-update - then update the driver for the new kernel installed by rpi-update.
# sudo reboot - now reboot to update the kernel with the new wifi driver.
#
# if you want to run, say rpi-update b2f6c103e5 to install 3.18.7+ #755, first check a driver is available
# before you update your code. Then, if a driver is available update the code, and then before rebooting
# update the wifi driver.
#
# sudo install-wifi -c b2f6c103e5 - check for driver if rpi-update b2f6c103e5 is run to install kernel 3.18.7+ #755.
# sudo rpi-update b2f6c103e5 - if a driver is available you can run rpi-update b2f6c103e5 to update firmware.
# sudo install-wifi -u b2f6c103e5 - then update the driver for the new kernel installed by rpi-update b2f6c103e5.
# sudo reboot - now reboot to update the kernel with the new wifi driver.
#
# and finally, you can change the wifi module you are using and install the new driver for it as well as
# running rpi-update to update the kernel, and assuming in this example the new adapter uses the 8812au
# driver, using something like:
#
# sudo install-wifi -c 8812au rpi-update - check for 8812au driver if rpi-update is run.
# sudo rpi-update - if a driver is available you can run rpi-update to update firmware.
# sudo install-wifi -u 8812au rpi-update - install the 8812au driver for the new kernel installed by rpi-update.
# sudo halt - shutdown the Pi, replace the wifi adapter with the 8812au wifi adapter.
# - restart the Pi with the new kernel and new 8812au wifi module.
