Wifi doesn't work on my Acer E5-574G. When I boot into the live USB session it looks as wifi is disabled. Meanwhile I do have ethernet connection. My laptop has a: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 card. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit. I've checked for additional drivers but no wireless network card driver shows up.
Here is the output for lspci -knn | grep Net -A2; rfkill list:

With a temporary working internet connection by ethernet or whatever means possible, please open a terminal and do:
wget
sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware*.deb
Reboot and your wireless should be working correctly.
