After trying steps from a thread about an Acer laptop with the exception that the last step was done as such:

sudo mv /home/******/ath10k-firmware/QCA9377/hw1.0/WLAN.TF.1.0/firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00002-QCATFSWPZ-5 firmware-5.bin 

because the file wasn't found in the suggested directory.

After rebooting the network applet doesn't even show the enable wi-fi option.

########## wireless info END ############`

Be certain that you have the latest possible firmware. Please open a terminal and do:

cd /tmp
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.169.3_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb

Reboot and tell us if there is any improvement.

EDIT: Your wireless is hardware blocked:

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

Find and press the wireless switch, sometimes referred to as Airplane Mode.

If pressing the button makes no change, please try:

sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop

Does the wireless work now? If so, let's make it persistent:

sudo -i
echo "blacklist ideapad_laptop" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
exit
