Best Answer

Yours should work with echo "options asus_nb_wmi wapf=4" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/asus_nm_wmi.conf Then you should be able to reboot and use your keyboard to enable wifi if it is still blocked

This should be fixed eventually as the code is in the asus_nb_wmi module in linux-next

.callback = dmi_matched,
    .ident = "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X550CC",
    .matches = {
        DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC."),
        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "X550CC"),
    },
    .driver_data = &quirk_asus_wapf4,
