I have successfully installed ubuntu 14.4 LTS alongside with Window 10 in my new Aspire E15 E5-573G-779S. WiFi auto detection in Window 10 is ok but not in Ubuntu 14.04. Appreciate if anyone can help to advise. Thanks. Results of lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2 shows 

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30)
    Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:0806]

First of all, can you connect to any Wi-Fi manually in your Ubuntu system?

If your machine is a laptop, you need to make sure the Wi-Fi adapter (or "wireless network") is toggled ON when using Ubuntu. On most laptops there is a hardware toggle that controls this. You may want to check your BIOS settings, too, because there might be a software toggle there.

Usually you can enter your BIOS settings by pressing and holding key F2, F10, or Delete during startup when the some logo appears (this is usually referred to as the POST screen), before any operating system loads.

I found a manual for your computer, it is https://content.etilize.com/User-Manual/1027476497.pdf It says you can enter BIOS settings using F2.

In your BIOS settings there might be an option that turns on your Wi-Fi adapter at startup.

Try to put the Wi-Fi on ALWAYS ON in the BIOS. In my experience this will solve the problem.

Good luck!
