Hello all. First of all thank you coz I had the same problem and then I came across this thread and from then on, after following the steps and entering the commands, wifi is working on my laptop Acer Apsire E5-573G-563K with ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS installed on it. Actually I have installed 4 OSes on my laptop. Windows 10 pro x64, ubuntu, Fedora 23 and Kali Linux 2.0.
So, now that I have got wifi working on ubuntu, can anyone please help me to get my wifi working on fedora and kali linux. I have the same wifi driver atheros 0042 (rev 30). Please anyone help.. like what changes should I make to the commands above for fedora and for kali linux. I'm new to linux but I'm an advanced level user when it comes to using computer. In Windows, I can do it all. But I have just installed these 4 Oses especially to learn linux and hacking. Please post the commands for fedora and kali. I tried YUM instead of apt-get but yum doesn't work in new fedora version so I installed yum package, switched to root user and still, the first command doesn't work i.e -
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git

and it shows following output - Last metadata expiration check performed 2:01:25 ago on Wed Nov 11 18:51:09 2015.
No package build-essential available.
No package linux-headers-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 available.
Package git-2.5.0-1.fc23.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

Please post the commands for fedora and kali linux. Thank you :)
