Wireless Problem WITH ASUS K450J

Question

Hello i am new at Ubuntu and recently installed it.. There was no problem until i found my wireless connection wasn't working. What do i do? I tried to enable it but my button goes straight to disable. I tried to install a wireless driver in the Downloads & Updates but it says i don't need to install any additional wireless driver. So what do i do to troubleshoot and or what do i do to fix it:

Computer: ASUS K450J OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Please help!

Please give output of "lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 && rfkill list" — Pilot6, May 12 '15 at 10:18

In most cases this can be solved by running

echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf

and reboot.

This is if wireless is always blocked by rfkill. In some cases wireless drivers should be installed.

The only answer is doing the following command:

 echo "blacklist acer-wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-acer-wmi.conf

Reboot after the command.

And what acer-wmi has to do on an ASUS laptop? – Pilot6 Dec 23 '15 at 18:27
You probably used my command too, but did not reboot after that. – Pilot6 Dec 23 '15 at 18:28
I did reboot but didn't do anything. – MrCA Dec 23 '15 at 18:34
