Well, i've made my own investigation. Here's the result, and the main is that my wi-fi (ath9k) doesn't work.
***
Wireless in BIOS is turned on
I turned on Atheros in Windows XP
and edit blacklist.conf in this way:
# wifi - drivers conflict
blacklist iwlagn
blacklist ath9k
by pushing hardware switch and Fn+F5 and asking rfkill status i can get such a responces:
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_3g: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: ideapad_3g: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_3g: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
String "1: ideapad_3g: Wireless WAN Soft blocked: no" cannot be changed.
Network applet doesn't see any wireless device at all (even blocked or turned off).

Now i turned off Atheros in Windows XP
Edit blacklist.conf in this way:
# wifi - drivers conflict
# blacklist iwlagn
# blacklist ath9k
and by pushing hardware switch and Fn+F5 and asking rfkill status i can get such a responces:
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list

Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN

I left Atheros turned off in Windows XP
But edit blacklist.conf in this way:
# wifi - drivers conflict
blacklist iwlagn
blacklist ath9k
By pushing hardware switch and Fn+F5 and asking rfkill status i can get such a responces:
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Network applet doesn't see any wireless device at all (even blocked or turned off).

Now i turned on Atheros in Windows XP again
Edit blacklist.conf in this way:
# wifi - drivers conflict
# blacklist iwlagn
# blacklist ath9k
By pushing hardware switch and Fn+F5 and asking rfkill status i've got following responces:
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
viktor@viktor-Lenovo:~$ rfkill list
So "1: phy0: Wireless LAN Hard blocked: yes" can not be changed by switch.
Nettool shows that wi-fi is hardware blocked.

Else i've tried to blacklist iwlagn and ath5k drivers while wifi was disabled in windows, nothing good.
