Asus k501U Wifi hard blocked

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Gnome 3.

I get the error message wifi hard blocked.

My wireless network hardware:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: 
        Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095a] (rev 59)

How can I fix this problem and unblock my wifi?

Answer 1

After installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Gnome 3, wifi was hard-blocked. I open the file and add the line blacklist wmi there

sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

But after I run that to activate keyboard backlit sudo sensors-detect but I get

backlit activated, wifi hard-blocked

So the solution that I found

echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nb_wmi.conf
