I had to setup two Lenovo U160 with 2.6.38-9-generic-pae & Natty.
Wireless worked for one of those two by blacklisting acer_wmi and
reboot. (Activated Wireless on preinstalled Win7 before). The other one
would show an strange behaviour after login:
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
Rfkill unblock all would imidiately freeze natty (actually network
manager trying to connect after ideapad_wlan was unblocked (???). [Tried
to install Broadcom STA, b43 etc,]. Tried Win7 again, no WLAN there
(which worked before!!) as well. Uninstalled Win7 driver, Reinstallation
not possible. Reset BIOS (whick always showed Wireless als enabled) and
suddenly WLAN unter Natty worked - no soft blocks any more. VERY
strange.
