my asus_nb_wmi is loaded and 

rfkill list all

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth

sudo modprobe asus_nb_wmi wapf=1 
sudo rfkill unblock all

Yours should work with echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nm_wmi.conf Then you should be able to reboot and use your keyboard to enable wifi if it is still blocked

This should be fixed eventually as the code is in the asus_nb_wmi module in linux-next

.callback = dmi_matched,
    .ident = "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X550CC",
    .matches = {
        DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC."),
        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "X550CC"),
    },
    .driver_data = &quirk_asus_wapf4,

  • I think i tried it too.... nd i want you to confirm the above code.... i think instead of asus_nm_wmi it should be asus_nb_wmi.... i apologise if i m wrong.... nd when i entered this command it shows error sudo: tee/etc/modprobe.d/asus_nm_wmi.conf: command not found. Help me what to do nw – Sinscary Jan 23 '15 at 12:56
  • The command is echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf I think you might have missed the space that should be between tee and /etc/modprobe.d/ as the file name after that can be anything as long as it ends with .conf Instead of rebooting after entering that some of the time sudo modprobe -r asus_nb_wmi and sudo modprobe asus_nb_wmi works, it depends on a few things, the reboot always works – Jeremy31 Jan 23 '15 at 13:31

After a lot of surfing finally i found a solution.

I found this driver built by Md Jahidul Hamid on github.

First of all download and extract the files.

Than give it execution permission by running

chmod +x install test uninstall

Now to install it run

./install

To test it without installing, run

./test

To uninstall, run

./uninstall

To install with dkms run

sudo make dkms

Hope this helps and a lot of thanks to all those who build this driver.
