    Hard blocked: yes

Is the switch or key combination set to enable wireless? Is the key combination not working as expected?

Is the module asus_nb_wmi loaded? Check:

lsmod | grep asus

If so, please try a driver parameter:

sudo -i
echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf
exit

Reboot and see if the Fn+F2 behavior is changed.

If the above does not work, redo it again but replace asus_nb_wmi wapf=0 with asus_nb_wmi wapf=1, and if that does not work, replace it with asus_nb_wmi wapf=4 instead.

  • wapf=4 is the most common according to the kernel quirks.
