Dracheschreck, as per http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X550CC/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your BIOS is available (300). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: Asus K550CC Wi-Fi disabled by hardware switch problem - - Same as bug #1173681 but still happening on 14.04 This workaround works: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181558 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-29-generic 3.13.0-29.53 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-29.53-generic 3.13.11.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-29-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: mlopez 1952 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: mlopez 1952 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Jun 11 15:31:33 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
