I will look into it during the weekend, any hint, what should I focus on? I am fairly new to this subsystem, it is quite complex and most of time I am spending studying how things work, which is nice, but it doesn't lead to immediate results.

What kernel version you use? Checked wiki and it might be 3.1 or 3.2.6. For 3.1 based kernel, you shall also backport this commit
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=1709adab0773616da7a8190f2762e599afb0a295
If this patch works properly, you shall see no 'acer-wireless' in `rfkill list` and you can unblock other rfkill for wifi. Then you shall be able to use your wireless.
If all rfkill is unblocked but you still can not use your wifi. Please post dmidecode here, I think, then, a possible approach is to consider to use DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION or add another DMI_PRODUCT_NAME in quirk.
