[Bug 1508500] Re: Wifi not working acer laptop

 

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  Wifi not working acer laptop

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 14.04 in my acer Aspire E 14 E5-473-31R5 laptop. I
  did not find proper solution to connect it with WiFi. If I go to
  "Additional Drivers" tab under "System Settings > Software & Update" I
  can't see any drive for WiFi. There is a option of my laptop for
  toggling WiFi by pressing (Fn + F3), tested by pressing this but did
  not work.
