I am trying to use WiFi on my new laptop.



The laptop is "Acer Aspire R11 R3-131T-P7HR".



When I run



$ lspci | grep Network



I see this



02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 3165 (rev 81)


When I try to run this



sudo ifconfig wlan0 up


I only get



wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device


I don't see wlan anywhere when running ifconfig. Some more outputs:



$ uname -a
Linux peepee 3.19.0-30-generic #34~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:09:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ rfkill list
1: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

$ lspci -knn|grep Net -A2
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:3165] (rev 81)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:4010]


The wi-fi worked when I used windows, before I removed it. What should I do/install?

Installing Ubuntu 15.10 fixed my issue.
