I can't get my Lenovo Yoga 13 wifi driver to blacklist?

  • 772

I need to blacklist semi-useless wifi driver included with 14.04.2 and load stable one per these instructions:

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist ideapad_laptop
blacklist rtl8723au
blacklist rtl8723ae

and then

sudo update-initramfs -u

reboot. Wifi still semi working and can't modprobe new driver (resource busy).

  *-network
