Legion Y530-15ICH doesn't detect wireless adapter

Question

The spec says it should have:

WiFi 802.11ac 2X2

Doesn't say what card

but ip link list, rfkill list, lspci -- none of them find anything related to Wi-Fi. dmesg log also has no mention of anything related to Wi-Fi. It's like it's not there at all...

(Note, this laptop has very serious issues with ACPI, dmesg log is full of errors related to it. It also cannot detect an HDD that the spec says it should have. BIOS cannot detect this HDD either.)

I've tried blacklisting ideapad_laptop module and loading r8822eb module -- neither made any difference (and I doubt they will, since, well, nobody apparently, can see this device).

Any clues as to what could be done? I've already wasted two days trying to install any Linux on this laptop, and it would be a total waste if I have to return it...

I've seen this, but it doesn't sound promising... rtl8822be on 18.04.1 (New Install on Lenovo Legion y530)

Please run the terminal commands: lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 and: lsusb Next, edit your question to add the result. — chili555, Feb 20 '19 at 23:04
@chili555 Like I said, lspci doesn't see this device, so, grepping for 0280 gives no output. I posted all of it instead. I also added the lsusb output. — wvxvw, Feb 21 '19 at 06:45
Is there any option in the BIOS/EFI to enable/disable wireless? — chili555, Feb 21 '19 at 14:12
@chili555 Not that I've noticed, but I'll look at it again once I'm home. To be honest, I don't remember any settings related to networking or PCI devices. I could get into EFI shell from Grub menu, but I wouldn't know what to do with it (I tried the devices command, but I don't understand the output). — wvxvw, Feb 21 '19 at 15:04
I believe the EFI setup is only available before the GRUB menu appears. — chili555, Feb 21 '19 at 15:58
@chili555 idk, it's called EFI shell in the menu (it's actually on Arch Anarchy installer, not Ubuntu's). — wvxvw, Feb 21 '19 at 16:56

Is Secure Boot enabled and what Kernel are you using?

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

Same issue here(Lenovo E585/AMD/Ryzen 2700u), no WIFI switch before Kernel 4.19. Disabling secure boot fixes it, but it is not an acceptable solution here.

mokutil  --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled
uname -r
5.0.0-050000rc7-generic
lspci -k | more

No, secure boot is a no-go for virtually any Linux (it's a kind of a scam pulled out by MS to prevent people from using anything but Windows). I've tried with a bunch of different kernels 4.2...4.20, but the results were more or less the same. — wvxvw, Feb 23 '19 at 16:58
