I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS with Xfce 4.10 on my Asus F5RL AP033C laptop. When I open nm-connection-editor from the notifications area (on it the 'Enable Wireless' is in grey), in the Wireless tab there are no networks, same as with Wicd Network Manager.
The WiFi LID on the laptop stays on all the time and I can't control it neither from Wicd nor by pressing Fn+ F2. Firstly, I searched the Asus site for drivers, but there were no Linux ones.
Jan 25, 2009 I checked the Asus site, but couldn't find a USB 2.0 driver for this mobo. (right now it's taking me 6 minutes to transfer 185 MB to a 150x 4GB SD card). Sign In Create Account Cart (0).

ASUS ZenDrive U9M offers two cables which USB Type-C and Type-A.
I tried adding to /etc/rc.local the line: echo 1 tee /sys/devices/platform/asuslaptop/wlan because of those topics, I've found:,. One strange thing about those is that I changed the line, I was adding from asus-laptop to asuslaptop, because of the already existing folder. That wlan file contained 1 in it, so I edited it to become 0 and the LED turned off. I switched it back on, but I still couldn't see the list of available networks.
I've also tried: sudo apt-get purge -remove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree sudo modprobe b43 because of, but without any effect. When I was searching the net for my laptop characteristics, I've found that my wireless is Integrated 802.11b/g. Sudo iwlist scanning returns: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning: Network is down lo Interface doesn't support scanning. Eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. But there's an exception - when I first boot my laptop after being shut down it returns: wlan0 No scan results lo Interface doesn't support scanning. Eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning. Ifconfig wlan0 up returns: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted and sudo ifconfig wlan0 up returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill.

After a bit of searching google, I've checked sudo rfkill list all and it returns 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes I've found topics, showing solutions to soft blocked, i.e. Sudo rfkill unblock wifi; sudo rfkill unblock all but mine is hard blocked and I'm out of ideas what to do next. The 'hardest' solution I could think of was pressing Fn+F2 without any effect.
– Feb 4 '14 at 21:16. I've confirmed that when I start the laptop nothing is blocked, but when I unplug the cable the wifi gets hard blocked. Another strange thing, I found out is that when I press Fn+F2 the result first time is Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no then I continue pressing it and check for those results Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes, Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes, Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes and so on it changes only the soft option. After all, I can get to a state, when both are unblocked (after a reboot) and in it, iwlist wlan0 scanning gives wlan0 No scan results. – Feb 5 '14 at 22:32. If your Wireless is hard blocked try to enable it in BIOS On first boot screen enter BIOS hit ( F2 or F10 or F12 - depending on your BIOS configuration) When in BIOS search for wireless to enable it if disabled (Most likely under configuration - wireless - enabled) When enabled confirm and boot normally (probably F10) Hope it helps. This command bellow in your case wont do much since you run on atheros and not broadcom driver, so not really solving any issue in your case.
