Sem fio não funciona apenas ao usar o Fedora

Question

Acabei de comprar um novo laptop Asus (ASUS F551CA) que vem com o Windows 8. Eu instalei rapidamente o Fedora 20 na D: -drive. Tudo parece bem: o processo dualboot funciona bem. No entanto, não consigo me conectar à Internet usando o Fedora. (Funciona muito bem no Windows.) Simplesmente diz "Hardware desativado". nas configurações, e eu não consigo fazer nada sobre isso. Ethernet funciona.

I had the same problem in F20 with Asus X550C, which uses the asus_nb_wmi module. The hardware switch is a bit flaky, as the led isn't lit up even if wifi is active. Anyway, solution for me is as follows:

• 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.

Works for me just fine, although it doesn't fix the wifi switching with Fn+F2, but that's not a problem for me. More info and where I got the fix from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181558

Possibly just blacklisting the module can work too, as some people reported, but I haven't tried.
