(Get the code!)
Hi Pedro, this is the solution:
Please copy-paste the following command into the Terminal and then press
<ENTER>:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.
Using the gedit editor, please ADD the following configuration line into
the file /etc/modprobe.
blacklist acer_wmi
Using the gedit editor, SAVE the change to the
/etc/modprobe.
Then REBOOT and retest wireless. This blacklist operation should make
the change permanent, even after rebooting.
This should force the Linux kernel to stop loading the acer_wmi module,
which is probably causing the kernel to soft block your wireless adapter.
The acer-wireless interface is an invalid wireless interface on your computer, because you are using a Packard Bell Easynote TN-65 , not an ACER computer.
