Airplane mode function key not working and led light working reversely

[david]

Hi all, I did a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04.1 on an asus x556uak laptop.
I noticed then that the airplane mode key function (fn+f2) doesn't work at all, and also that the airplane mode led is lit all the time.

When I go to network settings and turn the airplane mode on the light goes off, and when turned off the light goes on. The LED is working reversely.

I have tried to see the output of dmesg | grep iwl but nothing appears in the terminal.
