@Dave:
I notice that in your RfKill.txt attachment the wirelss lan device is
soft blocked. I also note that the following patch went into the kernel
between your working and non-working versions:
commit 466449cfe797b8a5d82d25d0e0e08426d8dfba19
Author: Lee, Chun-Yi <joeyli.ker...@gmail.com>

acer-wmi: Initialize wlan/bluetooth/wwan rfkill software block
state
So perhaps what's happened is that your firmware state indicates that
wifi should be disabled, but prior to that patch the kernel wasn't
checking the bios to get that state. Do you have a wifi hotkey on your
machine? What happens if you press it?
