I just bought an Asus X551 and installed ubuntu but the wireless connections can't seem to work. Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Could it be in Airplane mode (fn F2 toggles on/off)? –  May 29 '14 at 00:46

It looks like "Wi-Fi is disabled by hardware switch" and following links have solved it for me

WiFi not working on Asus U32 with Ubuntu 14.04

  • As root, create a file named e.g. asus-wifi.conf and put it in in /etc/modprobe.d/
  • Insert this line in it: options asus_nb_wmi wapf=1
  • Reboot and see if wifi works.

I had same problem using Fedora F19, F20 and Ubuntu F14.04
