Updating linux-firmware to version 1.157.1 fixed the problem for me. As it happens, I received a second-hand Acer Aspire E5-573 notebook earlier today. While setting it up as a Ubuntu machine for a friend I noticed the WLAN wasn't working in xenial. Searched around, found this bug report, downloaded & installed the newly build .deb (which hadn't landed in -proposed yet), rebooted, done! The timing couldn't have been better. Thanks a lot!
