AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) I've installed Ubuntu 13.04 onto this machine, and each time I log in and click on the network-manager indicator, it is in the following state: 1) "Enable Wi-Fi" is NOT check and it is GRAYED OUT. 2) "wi-fi is disabled by hardware switch" WORKAROUND: The following terminal command only resolves the issue for one session: sudo rmmod -f asus_nb_wmi Toggle wi-fi, by holding down the function key and pressing f2 (fn-f2). If one does not do the terminal command above, the wi-fi only stays enabled for about 4 seconds and then resorts back to the previous state mentioned above. WORKAROUND: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Add this line: blacklist asus-nb-wmi Save your edit. My Uncle must do this each and every time he logs into his laptop, in order to consume wi-fi. Also, due to his condition, he's practically incapable of these seemingly simple steps. Note: Before removing Windows 7, Window 7 was able to (appearantly) automatically turn on the hardware switch and connect to the wireless network (recurringly) on each login. However, in Ubuntu, the hardware switch is always OFF after login, and I must rmmod before toggling the hardware switch with fn-f2.
