Wifi not detected on Pavilion X360 fresh install

[JD Evora]

I did a fresh install on a HP Pavilion X300 model11-k001ns

The main problem is that I can connect to the Wifi, it appears as disabled in the Network Manager and when I enable it, it doesn't show any SSID

I think it detects two wireless devices

~$ lsmod |grep _wmi
hp_wmi 16384 0
acer_wmi 20480 0~$
sparse_keymap 16384 2 acer_wmi,hp_wmi
wmi 20480 2 acer_wmi,hp_wmi
video 40960 2 i915,acer_wmi

For some reason the acer_wmi module loads and causes the wireless to be blocked on HP computers
Blacklisting the acer_wmi module and rebooting should fix the issue

echo "blacklist acer_wmi" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I don't think it is a duplicate of either of those bugs
