Bug Description
=== SRU Justification ===
[Impact]
WiFi on Ideapads are rfkill HW blocked by default.
[Fix]
Remove no_hw_rfkill_list as most Ideapads don't have hardware rfkill
button.
[Test]
User reported the fix works.
[Regression Potential]
Low. If there's any actual device that has HW rfkill button, we can
simply add it to whitelist.
=== Original Bug Report ===
I have a brand new LeNovo legion Y540 and the ideapad_laptop module results in a rfkill.
If the module is removed/
I will try to compile ideapad_laptop adding the laptop info to no_hw_rfkill_
I only tried in ubuntu 19.10 (although this is a kernel issue)
rfkill output:
sudo rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
2 bluetooth hci0 blocked unblocked
3 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked
4 wlan ideapad_wlan unblocked blocked
5 bluetooth ideapad_bluetooth blocked blocked
1) Ubuntu 5.0.0-20.21-generic 5.0.8

Okay, I made a dkms based on 5.0.0-20 source code, adding lenovo Y540 IRH and now this laptop is in the no_hw_rfkill list.

I made a dkms package that fixed the problem for 19.04 (check above).
By the way. I went to linux kernel 5.2.1 ideapad_laptop.c and now there's no no_hw_rfkill_list. It's the opposite, now it has to be specified if there is a hw-rfkill. So that new laptops don't get this problem.
One option is to install a ppa with a recent kernel.
From the file:
* Some ideapads have a hardware rfkill switch, but most do not have one.
* Reading VPCCMD_R_RF always results in 0 on models without a hardware rfkill,
* switch causing ideapad_laptop to wrongly report all radios as hw-blocked.
* There used to be a long list of DMI ids for models without a hw rfkill
* switch here, but that resulted in playing whack a mole.
* More importantly wrongly reporting the wifi radio as hw-blocked, results in
* non working wifi. Whereas not reporting it hw-blocked, when it actually is
* hw-blocked results in an empty SSID list, which is a much more benign
* failure mode.
* So the default now is the much safer option of assuming there is no
* hardware rfkill switch. This default also actually matches most hardware,
* since having a hw rfkill switch is quite rare on modern hardware, so this
* also leads to a much shorter list.
