As at March 18th 2016, confirming that following the guide at the top of the page as well as the Backports method as described at Comment #90 fixed the problem and wifi now works on my Acer Aspire V17. Have attached relevant output from lspci and modinfo confirming h/w configuration for those interested in comparing with their machines.
