I am having trouble with the wireless card on my mom's acer aspire 4310.. I got her to use linux on her old toshiba and she wants it on this Acer too but I'm having trouble getting the wireless to work.. I am currently connected via ethernet..

And this is what rfkill all says

0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN     Soft blocked: no    Hard blocked: no

At first it was soft blocked then I ran rfkill unblock wifi but it still won't work! There are no wireless networks in the panel and the system settings only shows the ethernet connection... I have installed the sta drivers and that didn't help either.. any ideas?

Additional details: fresh ubuntu 13.10 install and fully updated
