help with wifi on acer switch notebook/tablet

[miatawnt2b]

Hoping you folks can help. I just installed 15.04 on my acer switch. Problem is wifi does not work and I can't seem to get any method for broadcom working (I'm assuming it's a broadcom but I'm actually unsure.

It looks like my wifi card is the broadcom since my device ID says 0x4324 in the mmc1:0001:1/data file however, the vendor id in the same directory is 0x02d0 which as far as I can tell is not standard broadcom. probably why none of the standard drivers does not work. lspci does not show any broadcom device at all.

Anyone have ideas on getting this working?

So far, we see no wireless device at all! Let's dig deeper. Please run and post:

lspci -nn
sudo lshw -C network

Yea, I'm not convinced it's a realtek chipset. I had installed the rtl8723bs driver and it didn't work. I never uninstalled it but I realized from Acer's support page they offer two drivers for windows. A broadcom and a realtek. I'm thinking it's a broadcom since the device ID in the mmc1:0001:1/data file says 0x4324 which is a broadcom ID. So I uninstalled the broadcom stuff and the realtek stuff and rebooted then ran the script again. That's the second pastebin link. I'll run the other commands for chilli555 in a min.

It does seem strange ubuntu sees nothing. It definitely works in windows, though I don't have the windows install on it anymore to see exactly what driver it's using (well I do, but I'd have to restore the whole maching from USB stick wiping my ubuntu load.)

Grasping at straws a bit here, but may I see:

ls /sys/bus/sdio/devices/

I am running out of ideas.
