At this point in time, the fix has been pushed upstream with hopes to be
included in the 3.17 revision; however, there are no promises until it
becomes a thing.

Title:
  [Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro] ideapad_laptop kernel module breaks wireless

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  With the ideapad_laptop module loaded there is no wlan0 (or other wifi
  device) present. Booting without any explicit blacklist config the
  ideapad_laptop kernel module gets loaded, and there are no wlan0
  device present.

  If I yet again load the ideapad_laptop module, using modprobe, the wlan0 device goes away. Here is the dmesg output from that.
  [  234.351406] input: Ideapad extra buttons as /devices/platform/VPC2004:00/input/input17

  WORKAROUND: For the wireless network to work on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Laptop I need blacklist/rmmod the ideapad_laptop kernel module. Running rmmod on the module results in the wlan0 device becoming present, and NetworkManager being able to connect to a local wifi network. Here is the dmesg output after the rmmod command:
