I have a problem identical to seanneko, although seemingly slightly different to others here. Same ideapad s10-3, wireless worked fine for a while, until one day when I switched it off and it wouldn't come back on.

Rfkill listafter unblock all, shows:
ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
soft blocked: no
hard blocked: no

ideapad_Bluetooth: Bluetooth
soft blocked: no
hard blocked: no

phy0: Wireless LAN
soft blocked: no
hard blocked: yes

hci0: Wireless LAN
soft blocked: no
hard blocked: no

I can never get phy0 off hard blocked.

Interestingly, when I disable the bluetooth and wifi switch, hci0 disappears from rfkill list, but phy0 stays.

I cannot wake from suspend, this has been a long running issue, so consequently I cannot try the workaround.

same as sean, I removed the CMOS battery, and although this fixed the LED, which had broken at the same time as the wireless, phy0 is still obstinantly hardblocked.
