The first proposed solution (wapf=4) worked for me: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1030504 "Things work because, asus-rfkill is not created due some APCI problems. On updated 3.11 kernel, ACPI problems were fixed and we have new asus rfkill interface. Phy 0 hard blocked is result of reading RFKILL bit from PCI register on RT5390 device, it could be bug on rt2x00 driver, but more probable is that ACPI/BIOS set that bit on PCI device as we have also similar problem with Broadcom device in bug 1028737. Hence this issue is most likely either bug on ACPI/BIOS or asus_wmi driver. Dan, could you check if adding wapf=4 module option helps: echo 'options asus-nb-wmi wapf=4' > /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf (you have to restart system to make new option take effect). If not, you can blacklist asus_wmi driver, but that will also stop all special keys functionality on your laptop." -Don -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
