Bought an acer aspire e15. came with widows 7 or 8. Disabled the new boot and could see Ubuntu USB, installed but no wireless. LAN(wired) worked fine.
Realized had put 32 bit, now 'trying' 14.4 64 bit from USB made using the start up disk creator from 32bit.
Still can't see Wireless (section is not there when i open the network area on top)
