My Asus laptop wifi is listed as hard block on rfkill and unblock all does nothing.
I dual boot with Windows 10. The wifi works fine on Windows. I have tried a live USB of Fedora and the wifi cannot be turned on using it.
I have also tried setting the wapf value for asus_nb_wmi in the conf. These have failed. I have no physical button besides the Fn+F2 key.
