I'm a newbie on Linux stuff and maybe the solution to my problem is obvious, but I need your help.
I decided to install Kubuntu 14.04 on my laptop (HP pavilion g6-2330sf) and the installation worked perfectly, but even if my Ethernet connection works, the wireless network refuses to be enabled.
So I spent a couple of hours trying to install drivers, NetworkManager etc... but nothing works, or should I say I can't make it work.
When typing the following command in the console $ sudo lshw -C network
I get the following output:
*-network

Furthermore when using the command nmcli nm
