  • According to this wiki, Intel® Wireless 7265 is supported since kernel version 3.13 that is included in 14.04 release. Many users asking the same here, so type "Intel 7625" in the search bar located at top right of this site and start looking for any available answers. –  Nov 25 '15 at 17:54

Check for acer_wmi in lsmod:

sudo lsmod | grep acer

If you find it, you can try unloading it:

sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi

Support for your device is supposed to be in Kernel 4.2, which is included with Ubuntu 15.10. You could either try Ubuntu 15.10 (15.04 is going end-of-life soon) or you could try to upgrade the 14.04 kernel to version 4.2. Of the two, I would suggest using Ubuntu 15.10

14.04 has longer support (5 years) so if you're keeping it around for awhile it's probably a better idea. As for the wifi adapter, i've found that even if the wireless adapter isn't working initially, if you install the OS and update it through Ethernet it should fix your problem. I can't stress the updating part enough.

Try this solution; The acer-wmi module is conflicting so it has to be blacklisted.
