Hi Florian,

Thanks for your testing, looks like ideapad-laptop reports correct rfkill
state.

Just two questions to be clarified,

 1. Which wifi driver you are using? wl or others?
 2. When system fails to connect AP, is the wifi scanning result correct?

Just wonder if there are any chance that ideapad-laptop block your wifi
connection even it shows unblocked.

This might be a different issue with the wifi driver as this one is under development too. I've had this behaviour some times (i have used the ideapad about 20 hours this week).
