I read the DSDT again. Fn+F5 is the soft rfkill key. It looks fine.
I guess the problem is the hard rfkill status is blocked, wifi will be
blocked even the soft one is unblocked.

Both of the answers are yes.
The problem is that on ideapad s205 without acer-wmi, when ideapad-laptop
have the hard switch event, the driver asks the status of switch and DSDT
replies blocked.
In the DSDT the driver read bit of GWSS as status of hardware switch and
I can not find out anything to update GWSS in DSDT :(
