I tried again and it works (almost) :-)
2.6.38-12-generic-pae #51lp836865 SMP with Ubuntu Natty
acer-wmi is loaded
rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
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: no
Hard blocked: yes
Although my physical hardware switch is enabled, the wlan card's state
is "Hard blocked: yes". "rfkill unblock all" does not unblock it. I have
to disable and reenable the hardware switch manually and then I get wlan
connection right away :-)
dmesg and lsmod attached.
