Description nickthweatt 2014-05-01 23:50:42 UTC 
wifi netowrking using either internal or external wlan adaptor was hardblocked due to the "ideapad_laptop" kernel module. Blacklisting the kernel module re-enabled wifi. 

Laptop hardware: Lenovo Yoga 2 11

Distro: Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 x86-64

Sounds like the issue is in the ideapad_laptop module...

A fix for this has been generated in Fedora here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1021036

The fix is partially incomplete because it does not support the latest Yogo models that report "Lenovo Yogo 2 Pro" when calling DMI_MATCH().

Part of me wonders if there's a better way to match on these because from looking at it, I'm betting that most times in the future, this register is going to return 0 since Lenovo has removed the hardware switch from the system.
