Lenovo Ideapad G50 Wifi [SOLVED]

[kukamuumuka]

In Lenovo Ideapad wlan is hard bloked, which reveals a command

Code: Select all

rfkill list

The solution is to make a /etc/rc.local file, whose contents is

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh -e
# By default this script does nothing.
modprobe -r ideapad-laptop
exit 0

Is it just a G50 or a G50-30?

Code: Select all

sudo dmidecode | grep 'Product Name'

It was not my laptop, but in its desk wrote G50.

There is a fix in some of the newer kernels for the G50-30 being hard blocked without having to remove or blacklist ideapad-laptop, I know it is in the newer 3.19.0 kernels and was submitted to 3.16

Hanipouspilot has a PPA with the fix deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/hanipouspilot/ ... top/ubuntu trusty main
The package name is ideapad-laptop-dkms
