Before I begin, I should probably say that I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, so please forgive me if I miss something obvious.

I recently figured out how to dual boot Ubuntu 12.10 with Windows 8 on a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. However, when I tried to connect to my home WiFi network through the icon at the top right, I saw the message "No network devices available." I suspect this may be a driver issue. I checked in Software Sources under Additional Drivers, and found that no drivers were listed. Does anyone know anything about this?

Update: I believe that iwconfig was the correct command, because it returned this:

lo        no wireless extensions.

  • Have you checked to see if your network card is disabled? Otherwise run ifconfig. What does that show you? Jan 7, 2013 at 2:46
  • if i remember right i believe the command is actually iwconfig. What does that return?

  • This might work, but for some reason, the "Additional Drivers" tool was not installed by default. I apparently have to download and install it, which is impossible without an internet connection. Jan 24, 2013 at 14:02
  • Try this--click the ubuntu icon, type Software Sources, open that and you might be able to access "Additional Drivers"

  • My driver isn't listed; in fact, no drivers are. Jan 27, 2013 at 0:26
  • I edited my solution. If you could confirm that this method works or not, I would much appreciate it. I have the same laptop, and before I attempt to get dual boot, I would like to know if this worked.
