You mean "Qualcomm Atheros AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet"?
Isn't it wired (ethernet) card?
There are also in your dmesg:
[ 295.123696] atl1c 0000:03:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update
[ 303.113082] atl1c 0000:03:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update
[ 309.892047] atl1c 0000:03:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update
[ 1059.886749] atl1c 0000:03:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update
But you said it is operating without any problems.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/105607/h … rd-working suggests to use alx instead of atl1c (which is already in use - automatic loaded by the system). I cannot confirm it is right but you can try.
And another idea to see what is going on with your wireless card:
In terminal execute sudo udevadm monitor
On / off your wireless with Fn+F2 (or any other key - appropriate to your model) as lucke suggested
Show us the output

That seems correct. See the below specs for a Hasee laptop with similar configuration to OP's:
http://www.xici.net/d149709134.htm
Note that the AR8131 is for the wired LAN (有线网络) while the wireless LAN (WLAN网络) is the "Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN"
Just to put the killswitch issue to bed, I would suggest that OP run:
rfkill list

If you can't find the particular information in the search enginges that will solve the issue, download and compile the compat drivers from source code. If the compat drivers are not working properly your best bet will be ndiswrapper.
These are my primary 3 steps to make any wireless/wifi card/chipset working, good luck.
Thank you for you advice. This will be my option. But I want to figure out what's wrong with my laptop.

Yeah, I know that is Ethernet. I saw your link and I have the same wireless card with.
I installed rfkill and run
rfkill list
,and got nothing. Nothing blocked, I guess.

Yeah, it surprised me. After I run the command:
udevadm monitor
, then press
Fn+f2
the wireless card was added, and
ip link show
. I can see the wireless interface: wlp2s0. It is the switch!!! I have to press F2 and then press fn + f2. Damm it!!!!
Thank you,sir. I really appreciate your answer and your time.

Usually you can disable WiFi on a laptop either by pressing one of the Fn keys (Fn key + one of the keys from the top row, look for a WiFi icon there) or by using a switch which is present somewhere on the case, usually at the front.
I finally press Fn + f2 to open the wireless. Thank you so much.
