I have a user with an Acer ES1-522 laptop and the wifi isn't working. The

touchpad, but doesn't enable it when pressed again. However, suspend/resume
resets the touchpad to working again. The acer-wmi module is loaded and an
input device is created. However, none of the listed keys actually provide
any output.
I blacklisted the acer_wmi module and now the wifi works. Is there any
further information I could provide that would help?
What is your kernel verion?
It's running Fedora 24, so the latest kernel at the time was probably
4.8.17. I see that a 4.9.5 kernel is available for F24 now, so I can
try that one if it would be helpful.
And, did you see any messages in dmesg when you pressed those fn-keys?
I didn't see any messages at all.
Also, on all the Acer laptops I checked, the accelerometer device gives
the "Operation not permitted" error. Should I split that into a new
thread? It appears to be part of the acer-wmi module as well.
