Thank you all, now I've got it working.... Expecially thanks to #125 procedure... By the way, for my ASUS F550C it wasn't enough:
iwconfig had wlan0 in the list, lshw -c network said DISABLED, ifconfig wlan0 up gave me an rfkill issue, rfkill unblock all/wifi didn't help becuse situation of rfkill list was and kept being
phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
and such asus wireless stuff totally unblocked
with terminal, create a file (or edit if already exists)
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/asus.conf
and adding/correcting the line
options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4
that forces the wireless activation (my hardware switch was keyboard dependent, Fn+F2). Now I've got Wireless active, although led is not working properly (but, sincerely, i don't care).

tried even rm /dev/rfkill didn't work (I hope I won't regret for this removing), but I finally found on http:// forum.ubuntu- fr.org/ viewtopic. php?id= 1429631 the solution for me.
with terminal, create a file (or edit if already exists) d/asus. conf
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.

Hope that could help some one
