I have the ideapad S130 and had the same issue, but I noticed that the kill switch from `ideapad_laptop` is toggled using the "flight mode"-key (Fn-F7) and I'm unsure, if I should create a patch like the one you submitted above.
>From pictures, the keyboard on the ideapad 330 looks identical to the one on the S130. Have you tried if that button actually acts as the "hardware killswitch" for you? Are we actually removing a useful feature by adding the laptops with that key to the blacklist in the kernel module? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811815 Title: Lenovo ideapad 330-15ICH Wifi rfkill hard blocked Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The issue here is that the drivers/platform/x86/ideapad_laptop.c module assumes the Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ICH has a hardware RF-kill switch, reads the I/O port for its state, gets a zero, and therefore reports to the kernel that RFkill is hard-blocked. The current workaround is to blacklist the module to stop it being loaded. I've attached a simple patch for the module that teaches it that this model does not have a hardware RF kill switch. ---- Original Report ----- Ubuntu 18.10 does not detect the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 card, specifically on a Lenovo ideapad 330 laptop. A current workaround: - Blacklist the "ideapad-laptop" module. - Edit/create a file in "/etc/modprobe.d/" and name it "blacklist.conf" or something similar (if it does not already exist), and append "blacklist ideapad-laptop" to the file. Save and reboot.
