Acer laptop wifi will not allow the toggling of wireless

Tried following information from here, but nothing worked from viewtopic.php?f=53&t=273372&hilit=d723 . Not too surprised since it was HP and not Acer. Ethernet works fine. It's just the wireless that won't take on the computer

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net
