And after using the command lsub... (attachment)

My laptop model - Acer Aspire E5-573G-563K

I have dual booted Windows 10 64-bit with Ubuntu's latest LTS version
i.e Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (Trusty Tahr) 64 -bit, too.

I've also tried all the methods but no fix for this wifi and I too came
across the forum thread where they mention that my driver is not yet
supported for latest kernel.

Also to mention, to dual boot ubuntu and windows 10, I had to downgrade
my bios version to 1.15 from 1.25 and  then only I was able to install
ubuntu..other it always showed blank screen at installation start even
though i tried all the methods like nomodeset and all other I could
find.
