Asus install Ubuntu will appear wifi physical switch is forbidden, press ASUS physical WiFi switch fn+f2 and do not start WiFi, we open terminal input: Rfkill list all will see hard blocked under the phy0 column is yes, that is forbidden, Then we use Rfkill unblock all to find Phy0 's hard blocked is still yes.
