I've uploaded a screenshot of my desktop so you can see that the wifi option is disabled (greyed-out) Original forum where I found the solution:

I guess a hard block can be caused by multiple modules and/or firmware trying to use the same device. Had to blacklist ideapad_laptop kernel module and reboot: sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nf <<< "blacklist ideapad_laptop"

The contents of my /etc/NetworkManager/nf file are: Resources: irq:136 memory:94000000-94001fffĬat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state gives me: Lshw -C network for the disabled wireless shows the following: *-network DISABLEDĬapabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wirelessĬonfiguration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.10.0-514.21.1.el7.x86_64 firmware=21.302800.0 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 The rfkill list all command shows: 0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN I am also running the latest NetworkManager and NetworkManager-wifi: NetworkManager-1.4.0-20.el7_3.x86_64 Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm

Iwconfig lists: wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled I am unable to understand why it's not working when the drivers are detected at boot using dmesg: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 21.302800.0 op_mode iwlmvm I've spent days on trying to get my wireless to work on my Lenovo Legion Y720.
