Ahoy!
Need to set wapf to 4 for ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X75VBP, so that
the device is enabled.
The corresponding /sys/class/dmi/id/* values via dmesg:
DMI: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X75VBP/X75VBP, BIOS X75VBP.304 06/04/2013
Tested with WAPF values 0, 1 and 4.
The values 1 and 4 have the same effect regarding wireless network
adapter enablement.
A value of 0 has no effect.
The corresponding command line:
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/isolinux/vmlinuz0
root=live:LABEL=Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-rawhide- ro rd.live.image
selinux=0 biosdevname=0 asus-nb-wmi.wapf=4

Regardless of the values of the WAPF parameter,
<Fn><F2> key combination does not give any results,
i.e. does not toggles The Internal Wireless LAN ON or OFF.
Also the WLAN LED is always ON, no matter what.
