We had the same problem with Asus K550c on 12.04. Creating /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf with
--------------------------------------------------------- options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4 --------------------------------------------------------- enables WLAN fixes it. Neither this nor blacklisting the module make the fn-f2 combination work. The wifi LED doesn0t light up either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022430 Title: [ASUS X55C] Cannot enable wifi again using wireless hotkey Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Bug description: After using wireless hotkey to disable wireless, it cannot be turned on again using wireless hotkey.
