That asus one is suspicious. Does "lsmod | grep asus" show anything?
If it does, do "modprobe -r the_module_name" and see if the "rfkill
list" output changes.
If it does, then do "echo blacklist the_module_name >
/etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf" and reboot.
You could possibly lose the use of some special keys, but see if it
fixes the wifi.
Good idea. The driver for "asus-wlan" is listed as "asus-nb-wmi".
lsmod reported it as having no dependents and dependent on "asus-wmi".
Removal from the running system caused no apparent problems (after
about 5 minutes) but the wifi was already up and running. I forgot
to check rfkill.
But I did add a blacklist conf file to /etc/modprobe.d and rebooted.
Now rfkill shows 2, not 4 devices. The asus- devices for wireless
and bluetooth were gone. AND wifi was up and running automatically.
A look at lsmod showed that both asus-nb-wmi and asus-wmi were no
longer being loaded even though I blacklisted only one.
That's a step in the right direction, thanks Samuel and all. Now to
see if there are any negative impacts.
