Blacklisting ideapad_laptop make the wi-fi works again.

How to blacklist this module?

Already managed to fix. Just created a file on /etc/modules-load.d/block-lenovo.conf and added blacklist ideapad-laptop

For solus team: Thanks for this awesome OS. Tried Mint first and touchpad and wi-fi not works. On Solus, it works on previous kernel. Just waiting to donate for you!

What's the problem? Just create a folder and file at: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
And bring there what is necessary.
For example, I threw out the regular driver realtek wifi:

blacklist rtl8xxxu
Although this instruction from Debian and Arch Linux.
Works!
