I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my Acer Aspire 4752G and I can't get wifi working.
My wifi controller is:
giovanni@giovanni-Aspire-4752:~$ lspci | grep Network 03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)Based on this () I enabled the ath9k module with modprobe ath9k
This got the phy1 wifi device to show up:
giovanni@giovanni-Aspire-4752:~$ rfkill list
2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
4: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yesBut it seems hard blocked. I can't find any hardware switch on the laptop and there is no option to enable/disable it in the BIOS either.
