[Bug 2092283] Re: wifi soft blocked by asus_nb_wmi on asus vivobook s14 oled Q423SA

Can reproduce with the same laptop model (S5406SA) on kernel 6.11.0-13
(Ubuntu 24.10).

Note that you can still connect to Wi-Fi networks by manually running
`nmcli radio wifi on` and `nmcli dev wifi list`. NetworkManager will
list and connect to Wi-Fi networks even despite the soft-block.
