Look for a hardware (physical) airplane mode switch on the sides of your laptop. Check bios settings as well.
Also find the exact model of wifi card and google that to make sure it is supported (hint: it is not necessarily ASUS's own chipset).
You may need to install firmware.
Thanks for your answer. I've been googling nearly all day, but to no avail. Wireless is enabled (unlocked) in bios. The airplane mode can be switched with Fn+F2, but has no effect. At least pressing the buttons has no effect. Rfkill UNBLOCK switches on the airplane led, and BLOCK switches off. This refers to phy0. These times the asus-wlan device is set to the opposite setting. This laptops has an Intel Dualband 7265 AC wireless chip. The driver is called iwlwifi. The firmware is listed in /lib/firmware. I copied seemingly newer *.ucode files there, but nothing happenned. Maybe the kernel did nor load them, I do not know how to make it. During installation I tried to set network repositories (did not manage), but only at that time the list of available wifi networks was listed. I also do not know, whether this is a kernek related problem, or not. I use kernel 4.1.15. I read somewhere that it did not work with kernel 4.2.1. That is in buntu 15.10 which I could not install due to nouveau problems. BUntu 16.04 beta has kernel 4.4. It made touchpad work but no wifi. But at least wifi icon showed up from time to time. I also tried kernel 4.5-1,2,3 and still no wifi. Kernel 4.5-4 led to crash, X did not load, only cli. I read tons of recipes on the net, mostly for debian based distros, nothing worked. Some say they had to boot into windows first, enable wifi, and after booting into some linux the wifi worked. I met this situation years ago with aDell inspiron netbook with XP and oS 12.3 dualboot with Atheros wifi. Mine is oS only. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
