I bought an Acer laptop and installed Ubuntu 14.04LTS but WiFi drivers are not available for it. So I am trying to install a windows driver using wifidocs/driver/ndiswrapper.

I already install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I find out my wireless doesn't work. Ubuntu cant recognize my wireless on Asus k556uq. My wireless card is Qualcomm Atheros device 0042 (rev30) it was out.

I have not forgotten about trying out the new kernel. A relief is that Ubuntu provides additional drivers specifically for Broadcom adapters.

On doing lspci -vvnn, it gives:

Then I also disabled the atheros drivers. Using lspci and lspci -n, I can say PCI id is 168c:0042. But Acer website has three atheros drivers. I could not figure out which one to download but downloaded one on a windows PC and pasted the zip file on my desktop then unzipped it from the terminal using unzip <filename>.zip. The page says you have to go to control panel system hardware and all that on the windows system. I did not do it. Windows computer not being mine, I am afraid I should not install any additional driver on it. After unzipping it has one .inx file and one .bin file but no .sys file. I don't know whether I am completely right till here or have I missed something? And if I am right then how to proceed from here? I also made a new directory and copied the unzipped .inx and .bin files in it. Then in that directory I ran the ndiswrapper -i <filename>.inf but it says ndiswrapper not installed and when I do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common, I get the reply that ndiswrapper-common is already the latest version. What to do? here is my Here is the output of

Ubuntu 16.04 users should just need to

Qualcomm Atheros Drivers Windows 10

and reboot.

You do not need Windows drivers and ndiswrapper.

This has been recently fixed upstream, follow these instructions to install the backported modules and needed firmware:

And it should work after a reboot.

It will fail when a new kernel is installed through updates until the kernel is patched to support the wifi. When that happens you will need to:

And reboot.
