I just installed Mint 18.3 on a brand new Acer Swift 1, but am unable to see any wireless networks in network manager, nor connect to a wireless network when specifying SSID and PSK manually. The wifi worked perfectly in Windows before I installed Mint, so the card seems to work ok.

- Reinstalling Mint from scratch
- Installing a newer firmware from the Ububtu repos (as suggested in a post in Ubuntu's support forum)
Any suggestions on where to start looking? Thanks in advance!
