Hello and merry Christmas,

I have a new Lenovo Yoga C930 and try to install Ubuntu 18.10 on this machine, but Wifi is not working.
I'm not a Linux professional but I tried a lot the last hours (also with the answers of this forum).

First of all, Wifi is turned on in Bios (I double checked this). If I open the Wifi Settings the message "Kein Funknetzwerkadapter gefunden" is shown. A connection via cable LAN (over USB-C) works out of the box.

lspci | grep Wireless

6b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29)

I was wondering about this output:

rfkill list all

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: yes

1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: yes

2: hci0: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

4: phy0: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no

Hard blocked: no

I'm not sure if ideapad_wlan or phy0 is the correct one.

Maybe lsmod is also interesting:

Any ideas or do I need to post more information?

The usual fix has been to blacklist the ideapad-laptop module but there is another way to fix

sudo apt install git dkms build-essential

git clone -b 4.18 https://github.com/jeremyb31/ideapad-laptop.git

sudo dkms add ./ideapad-laptop

sudo dkms install ideapad-laptop/1.0

echo "options ideapad_laptop override_has_hw_rfkill_switch=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad_laptop.conf

Check mokutil --sb-state if it says the Secure Boot is enabled, you will need to disable when you reboot in BIOS settings. Please leave the Secure Boot signing keys alone

Ubuntu 18.04 users that have the 4.15 kernels should use

git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/ideapad-laptop.git
