[SOLVED] Some Fn keys not working/Wifi + BT state not saved on reboot

Hi, I'm using a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 2021 with kernel 6.8.9

My wifi + bt is randomly soft blocked on boot (even with rfkill-unblock enabled). After tinkering for a while I found out that disabling ideapad_laptop seems to help but then some fn keys doesnt work.

Try the no_bt_rfkill and hw_rfkill_switch parameters for the ideapad_laptop module.

If this machine has Windows installed be sure to disable "fast start" in that OS.

The module has two parameters related to rfkill, are you sure you don't have some hw switch that is getting honored by the module? Otherwise try /etc/modprobe.d/ideapadDisableRfkill.conf

options ideapad_laptop no_bt_rfkill=1 hw_rfkill_switch=0

and reboot -- maybe try removing one or the other to check whether only one is the culprit.
