Title:
  Wifi led won't toggle when enabling/disabling wifi on ASUS laptop with
  14.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is a common problem dating back to the 2008:

  http://askubuntu.com/questions/450750/asus-wifi-led-not-working

  There is a workaround for this, by creating additional files in
  etc/acpi and handling event by command:

  echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/wlan

  But in 14.04 I get access denied when trying to write to this file.
  This worked in 13.04 and 13.10 and in 14.04 is broken.

  Ideally, is there a chance to include this solution in Ubuntu:

  Less ideally - is there a way to get writing to
  /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/wlan fixed?
