If I understand correctly, you want to offload handling of rfkill to ideapad-laptop module. I will look into it during the weekend, any hint, what should I focus on?

Please post dmidecode here, I think, then, a possible approach is to consider to use DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION or add another DMI_PRODUCT_NAME in quirk. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > If you can put the dmidecode and acpidump somewhere I can reach, I can help with analysis the situation.
