Tried numerous different rfkill commands. Here is the order of operations:
[~]# rfkill list all
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: yes
[~]# rfkill unblock all
[~]# rfkill list all
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: yes
[~]# rfkill unblock wifi
[~]# rfkill list all
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: yes
Hardblocked: yes
Mind you, the wifi button on my Acer Aspire is giving me no response when I press the button, before or after trying this command. I have only had one strange instance where it said:
[~]# rfkill list all
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: no
Hardblocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Softblocked: no
Hardblocked: no
But it never happened again.

Noticed something in GUI:
Command rfkill unblock all makes airplane mode in gnome-control-center > network flick on and then off again.
After disabling acer-wmi (modprobe -r acer-wmi) it shows only:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft Blocked: yes
Hard Blocked: no

Solved this issue myself after many hours of google searching.
[~]# sudo modprobe -r acer-wmi
[~]# sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/ath9.conf
#Thereafter I just went ahead and added:
options ath9k nohwcrypt=1
# To the file and then rebooted. That solved the problem.
