Re: Wifi not working on lenovo legion
I am happy to know that the Lenovo Legion Y530 works with Linux mint, so I plan to buy this laptop.
@panqueinthebox, tell me, does keyboard lighting work fine on Linux Mint? Sorry for the topic out of the subject.

This solution worked perfectly for my Lenovo Miix 510. I did have to turn of secure boot in the BIOS.
Thanks for the knowledge base!

Re: Wifi not working on lenovo legion
This fix did work to resolve the WIFI not working, until I restarted the computer. I verified that I did it correctly so I did try the solution again and it did work to regain WIFI functionality. But then when I restarted it was gone again. Is there a way to make this change permanent?

Re: Wifi not working on lenovo legion
That did the trick and it stays after rebooting!
If I am looking at this correct, this set the rfkill switch to off at =0, correct? Sorry, I'm not much for programming.
Thank you for the assistance.

Re: Wifi not working on lenovo legion
Yes, this was a custom patch from a person named ryuo on IRC as the kernel has a quirks list that only names so many models to ignore the rfkill info on some Lenovo laptops
