There are complains on few ideapads that wireless is always hard blocked but there is no physical radio switch. For now, we need each user to report its dmi information and ignore hard blocks on their ideapad. With more and more ideapads available in market to maintain the dmi table becomes never-ended job. I've checked lenovo website and for recent design none of the ideapads has radio switch. I do not believe there will be in the future. Therefore to disable hard block according to BIOS date is reasonable approach. This patch will disable rfkill hardblock if BIOS year > 2015.
