How to enable wifi connection in linux on Lenovo yoga 3

After a lot of searching i have found the solution for enabling wifi on linux mint on Lenovo yoga 3.
Actually the wifi and bluetooth are hard locked whick on other laptops can be disabled manually by using a button.As lenovo does not provide any such button a command  on terminal seems to work just fine.

Firstly open the terminal by either using the menu ot shortcut"Ctrl+Alt+T"

Now type the following command -

"sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop"

NOTE-The quotes are not a part of the command

 After entering the above command type your password and press enter.
The wifi and bluetooth should now work.


If the network are softlocked as well type the following command in terminal and than type the password

sudo rfkill unblock 0
sudo rfkill unblock 2
