That made things interesting! I was never able toa actually enable
wireless, only tic it and then the option turned gray.<br>
But after running your commands I found the broadcom driver inactive
and cannot activate it in propritary drivers. Now I get this, as the
broadcom driver isn't installed:<br>
<br>
<small>$ sudo rfkill list<br>
[sudo] password for ubuntu: <br>
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN<br>
Soft blocked: yes<br>
Hard blocked: no<br>
ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo rfkill unblock all<br>
ubuntu@ubuntu-laptop:~$ sudo rfkill list<br>
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN<br>
Soft blocked: no<br>
Hard blocked: no</small><br>
<br>
The acre driver doesn't work and when I try to activate the broadcom
driver I get and error and to look at the jockey.log. Here's from
the last attempt to install the broadcom driver:<br>

What happens if you (with fn +f3 such that wireless is enabled. Toggle
