Hi,
First check here:
http://support.asus.com/Specification.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=A2H&p=3&s=28&hashedid=1GpEdjg9wmum1DfV
As you can see, your fist thing to test is:
Hot Keys: -Fn+F2 Wireless switch
If that not works, can you provide more information about your system, what Linux distribution are you running?
If you don't know test to run "lsb_release -a" and "uname -a" in the terminal.
Also you can test to run "iwconfig" in the terminal to get some info.0 -
Try what Aron said, but also, if the device merely needs to be started:
ifup wlan0
orifconfig wlan0 up
also, check the BIOS for a wireless device setting that maybe disabled.

On my Dell laptops, I have physical switches. One is an led light that I have to touch, the other is a toggle switch, make sure yours is enabled. As said in the posts above, it could also be a setting in the bios, but, on modern day machines, there should be a physical switch.
If you could give us the output of:lspci | grep -i net
We can see what adapter your using and give you additional help.
BTW - With the different outputs for wifi adapters, if lspci | grep -i net does't give you any output, try:lspci | grep -i wire
orlspci | grep -i wifi
The more help you give us, the more we can give you.0 -

Well broadcom drivers are proprietary and so do not come embedded in Linux. Have you tried installing the broadcom-wl driver? It should be in one of the Ubuntu repos, I can't remember the proper name for it, but it would be the one that contains the non-free software.0
