Hi people, I've got a solution of this problem. Finally it works... )

Just open Terminal and edit a file: " gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local "
Befor the line exit 0 paste: " echo 1 | tee /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan " without sudo, because it is runing as superuser file.
Then just save this file and close and restart comp, and it should work.
That's all...
