Comment 4 for bug 767082

I managed to get wifi work with :

sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi

Then to blacklist the acer-wmi module on startup you have to do this in your terminal :

cd /etc/modprobe.d
sudo gedit blacklist.conf

and create a new line at the end of the file with :

blacklist acer-wmi

record and exit.

It is not working perfectly for me as it is sometimes connected but not working and I must diconnect and reconnect several times to make it work.

This is very annoying to not get wifi working properly on a notebook.
