I managed to get Win8 back into it again so I could update the BIOS.
It's the latest one now (1.17).

Bug persists though :(

One thing I think I should mention is that between its Vivid (when all
was working fine) and its Wily (what I have now) incarnations I had it
sent back to Lenovo factory for repairs due to a broken USB 3.0 port
(the blue tab broke off, common issue with this model).  So they
repaired the USB port but also reflashed/reset the BIOS and HDD as well
(as usual). It's the same motherboard though as the mac address remained
the same.

Title:
  "Wi-fi disabled by hardware switch" permanently on Lenovo Yoga 2 13

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've a Lenovo Yoga 2 13" and installed Wily from a thumb drive (no
  upgrade).

  Can't use wifi at all. The indicator panel says "Wi-fi disabled by
  hardware switch". Pressing the "airplane mode" key makes no
  difference.

  Once I blacklisted ideapad_laptop kernel module, I did get wi-fi back.
  But after a couple of minutes it would become slow and unreliable to
  be point of being unusable.

  It came as a surprise as I was previously using Vivid on this laptop
  and wi-fi worked out of the box with it, never giving me any problems.
