James,

Could you give me some logs
1. "sudo dmidecode --type 1"
2. "rfkill list" press the hotkey and then "rfkill list" again
3. "cat /sys/modules/asus-wmi/parameters/wapf"
   not pretty sure the path, it's probably not asus-wmi, but asus-nb-wmi
   /sys/modules/asus-nb-wmi/parameters/wapf

Thanks.

@AceLan
This machine had been returned to the OEM, so I am afraid we cannot get the info you need in #2.
