I will start with the fact that I love Fedora.
But recently I wanted a new laptop and I chose an Acer Aspire 5. Wifi did not work during the install but I foolishly figured that it would pick it up after. It did not. How do I get Fedora to see and use the wifi?
Here is the output of inxi so that you can know my system:
