I have installed LUbuntu 12.04 64 bit on a Acer Travelmate 5735 but the wireless card is not working properly. I have tried with proprietary driver (proposed by Lubuntu), with or without acer-wmi module blacklisted.
I can see wlan0 as network interface but I can't see any wireless network available.
It's a bug or I'm missing something?
