Public bug reported: acer-wmi is polling the wireless state from the BIOS periodically, and every once in a while the state returned by the BIOS is incorrect. This results in the wireless being disconnected briefly until the next poll when the correct state is restored. A workaround is needed to debounce the wireless state returned by the BIOS to prevent the wireless dropouts.
