Ubuntu 15.10 on acer aspire E5-574-5970 caot detect any wireless net work

I recently bought an Acer Aspire E5-574-5970 laptop that was pre-installed with Windows 10. Since everything works well on windows including wireless, I replaced the original hard drive with my own and installed ubuntu 15.10 on it. Everything went fine when I installed Ubuntu with the exception that it did not find any wireless coection during installation. Following installation the laptop boots fine, but it still caot detect any wireless network while it can when the laptop is ruing windows 10. So I tried ruing ubuntu 15.10 LIVE, 16.04 LIVE and 14.04 LIVE, but none of them detected WiFi either.

Later I tried ruing the standard network test script from Ubuntu Forums(https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info) Below are the results. I was wondering if there is anyone who can help me solve this issue.

Here is the result I got

########## wireless info START ##########
