I'm using an Acer C720P with the GalliumOS kernel. Everything works perfectly, except occasionally when opening the screen, I need to `sudo service network-manager restart` to get connected to the WiFi. It doesn't see me network unless I do that. It's only once in a while so I haven't bothered trying to fix it.

I used these guides to help set things up:
