I am trying to install the newest Kubuntu 14.04 on my Asus u32u, however, i am having problems with "Wireless network disabled by hardware switch". I have tried "rfkill unblock all" without any luck, if i use my keyboard to enable/disable wifi using the FN;+F2 key for wifi, it gets enabled for a few seconds and then goes back to being disabled. rfkill unblock all shows:

phy0 wireless network:
Soft Blocked: no
Hardware blocked: yes

However, if i put the computer to sleep mode, and then wake it again, wifi works.

Is the module asus_nb_wmi loaded? Check:

lsmod | grep asus

If so, please try:

echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf

Reboot and see if your wireless key combination is working as expected.
