I'm so new to Linux that it should be illegal for me to post on this forum.
I bought this Acer Aspire a few months. It came with Windows 10. I obtained a virus after I removed my anti-virus soft because it was preventing League of Legends to run, you know, the way a dummy would.
I tried to removed the virus by booting first Kali Live, then Ubuntu Live from a flash drive. I wasn't able to connect to my wireless internet. The Acer Aspire doesn't have a ethernet port and I didn't have an adapter. I read somewhere that the wireless wouldn't work until I installed Ubuntu 14.04 completely. So I installed it completely, still no internet.
I have been searching like a raccoon all over the internet for some shelter from this shit storm of a problem I have. I know that I have a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6714 "chip set?".
I have tried to download the firmware directly from the site, but all there is there is a .bin.
Please help me before I karate chop this computer into stardust.
THANK YOU!!
