Subject: acer-wmi: No wifi rfkill on Lenovo machines
From: Ike Panhc <[email protected]>
commit 461e74377cfcfc2c0d6bbdfa8fc5fbc21b052c2a upstream.
We have several reports which says acer-wmi is loaded on ideapads
and register rfkill for wifi which can not be unblocked.
Since ideapad-laptop also register rfkill for wifi and it works
reliably, it will be fine acer-wmi is not going to register rfkill
for wifi once VPC2004 is found.
Also put IBM0068/LEN0068 in the list. Though thinkpad_acpi has no
wifi rfkill capability, there are reports which says acer-wmi also
block wireless on Thinkpad E520/E420.
