I use Acer 5750G. I need to use a special software which is only working on kernel 4.4 with network. So I downgraded the kernel. Booting is success exclude network. I have no idea to fix it. Please help.
I don't found my ethernet driver tg3.ko and wireless driver ath9k.ko on 4.4 but 4.10.
Here is some info. Hope would help. by varunendra
Result on 4.4
