    I have nearly given up hope

    Hi there, For the past few days I have been trying to get my AC 7260 to work with Ubuntu. And I keep failing every time. that is until I found a script that you guys said would help determine my problem. So I have taken the liberty of running that script on Ubuntu 16.04 and displaying the results here.
    Code:

    Re: I have nearly given up hope

    Please do:
    Code:
    echo "blacklist acer-wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    Then reboot and if it does not connect run the script again and post a new file.
    Thanks

    I am currently talking from ubuntu to let you know that it does in fact work. Thank you so much for your help man! If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was the problem.

    Re: I have nearly given up hope

    That acer module that we removed is supposed to tell the system to turn on the wireless but it does not in many cases so you had what is called a softblock.
    Glad it is working!
