@simonchen007 Does your change in #26 fix the problem? I'm having the same issue even with sudo depmod -a

simonchen007 commented 3 years ago

@kevinchappell , please try the fllowing:

cd /lib/modules/YOURKERNELVERSION/kernel/drivers/platform/x86
mv  asus-nb-wmi.ko asus-nb-wmi.ko_bak
mv asus-wmi.ko asus-wmi.ko_bak
ln -s ../../../../extra/asus-nb-wmi.ko ./
ln -s ../../../../extra/asus-wmi.ko ./

It may works after reboot.

@simonchen007 I tried that and still not working after reboot.

P.S It was working prior to the kernel update. My kernel version is 5.8.0.63-generic

@KeenanLawrence I'm using the same version of Kernel. Please check it.
