Attached as a DKMS package to test whether the patch works.
Download the file (I'll assume it ends up in $HOME/Downloads/ ).
In a terminal shell do:
$ sudo tar -C / -vxf $HOME/Downloads/ideapad_laptop-33015ICH.dkms.tar.gz
This will extract the files to
/usr/src/ideapad_laptop-33015ICH/
In case the DKMS tools package is not already installed do:
$ sudo apt install dkms
Now add this test module to the DKMS build system:
$ sudo dkms add ideapad_laptop/33015ICH
Now ensure it builds for the running kernel version:
$ sudo dkms build ideapad_laptop/33015ICH
If no errors reported install the module:
$ sudo dkms install ideapad_laptop/33015ICH
Remove your blacklist file from /etc/modprobe.d/
Load the module:
$ sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop
Ensure the Wifi is still working. If so reboot the PC and check Wifi
still starts correctly.
Please report back on your results so we can get this patch upstream and
added to Ubuntu.

Title:
Lenovo ideapad 330-15ICH Wifi rfkill hard blocked
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The issue here is that the drivers/platform/x86/ideapad_laptop.c
module assumes the Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ICH has a hardware RF-kill
switch, reads the I/O port for its state, gets a zero, and therefore
reports to the kernel that RFkill is hard-blocked.
The current workaround is to blacklist the module to stop it being
loaded.
I've attached a simple patch for the module that teaches it that this
model does not have a hardware RF kill switch.
---- Original Report -----
Ubuntu 18.10 does not detect the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
card, specifically on a Lenovo ideapad 330 laptop.
A current workaround:
- Blacklist the "ideapad-laptop" module.
- Edit/create a file in "/etc/modprobe.d/" and name it "blacklist.conf" or
something similar (if it does not already exist), and append "blacklist
ideapad-laptop" to the file. Save and reboot.
