It looks like "Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch" and following links have solved it for me
WiFi not working on Asus U32 with Ubuntu 14.04

- As root, create a file named e.g. asus-wifi.conf and put it in in /etc/modprobe.d/
- Insert this line in it: options asus_nb_wmi wapf=1
- Reboot and see if wifi works.
I had same problem using Fedora F19, F20 and Ubuntu F14.04
