Indeed, if you add the acer-wmi kernel module into the blacklist, then the WiFi works.
However, adding the module to the blacklist is not a solution but rather a workaround. We do not expect users of these laptops to figure out they have to edit configuration files. What I believe should be done is for acer-wmi not to load when the laptop is a Sony, as there is already a sony-laptop.ko kernel module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938630 Title: Ubuntu loads acer-wmi on Sony laptop; WiFi not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/938630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
