G700 - Wireless not working

I have a new G700. In box I found a CD with drivers for Win8.
I have installed Win7 - and installed drivers for Win7 from Lenovo support web page.
Everything is working except Wireless. It simply doesn't appear in adapters dialog.
What can be wrong? I already searched the web and I found that I have to install Energy Management Software. Strange, but I already did and it looks very simple - without any settings for wireless as described.
I checked again and I found that this software is just for Win8 (but it works on Win7).
I tried Fn5 (in different combination) but it change nothing. Are there any other software or some indicator light if Wireless works.
Thanks.

hi dunda,
First Make sure that the BIOS settings for the Wireless is Enabled.
Hit F2 when booting up the system and go to the configuration tab.
If that did not fix it
Make sure that your re installation of the Lenovo Energy / Power Management fixed the FN. do this by trying other FN Feature see if those works, If not Uninstall Energy Management under Control Panel and install this one
Lenovo Energy Management
Then Check all the FN again and check the Fn for the wireless.
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

Hi sparhk, and welcome.
One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum. I do a little Linux, so I poked into it. To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem. (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch? That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it. For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

Satellite L300 - Wireless not working at all

Hi everyone,
Im new here and my name is Jodie. My husband and I bought new laptops a couple of weeks ago, the Satellite L300.
On my husbands one the wireless just stopped working, the switch is on but no light is on. I've tried FN and F8 is says the wireless is not working. I then checked in the device manager under netwrok adapters to see if it said the same as mine and the Wireless Adapter has vanished? It's the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Netwrok Adapter.
Can anyone help? Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old :(
Thanks Guys
Jodie

>Can't bellieve this has happened and they are only 2 weeks old
I understand what you mean but if you check this forum and all questions here your problem is not so complicated. You cannot even imagine which problems people have with notebooks. Sometimes I ask myself what people do with notebooks. :)
Back to your problem: Jodie if there is no way to get WLAN to work I recommend you to use most radical but most effective way to test WLAN functionality install OS again using HDD recovery image. After doing this you will have factory state and all hardware components should be installed properly.
Enable WLAN using WLAN switch, be sure WLAN is enabled with FN+F8 and scan the area.
It must work.

Wireless not working at a hopeless tech person's house

Wireless doing fine then I tried to connect the new direct tv connect kit. First step was to press my wan button on router till it blinked then press something on the direct tv connect thing. Never got it to talk to each other. But then none of my wireless things worked so I tried a unplug of modem and router and that didnt reset everything so then I hit the reset button and now my little button no longer lights up yellow. The tiny power light is flashing (not holding steady).did I ruin my router?

Is that a Linksys/Cisco router? What is the model number? Reset again the router for 30 seconds and then unplug/replug the router for 30 seconds also. Observe after that if power light goes solid and if ever it still flash after a minute or two, try to plug the router in a different power outlet. If you get the power solid after the reset, reconfigure the router again for wired and wireless internet.

Wireless not working in linux, but works fine in windows vista

Hello!
I have installed Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 4 in a dual boot config. with Window Vista on a Compaq Presario laptop. After install completed I found that my on board Broadcom Wireless Adapter (Dell 1390 Mini PC card) was not recognized. I have tried installing NDISwrapper versions 1.48 and later 1.47 (after uninstalling 1.48) because everytime I got to the "modprobe ndiswrapper" received a fatal error about an unknown symbol or parameter, and on install I also encountered a "CONFIG_4KSTACKS" error as well. The good part is the light on my laptop for the wireless adapter finally came on and the driver (bcmwl5.inf) appears to be installed and the wireless adapter identified as being present, but it still doesn't show up in the network manager gui interface. So I am out of ideas if any one can give me a suggestion for a solution I would appreciate it.

All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Hi @Random_Pelican ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.

Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
Laserjet P1102w.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

[Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
Hi there guys,
I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:
Systemctl output:

This one being the wireless controller:

If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
Thanks so very much everyone,

Wireless not working after suspend (madwifi)

Hi there
I successfully converted from Vista to Archlinux! Everything's working fine (yep, I'm a bit proud as this my second try at linux ) except that after I suspend with powersave my wlan is not working anymore. I've also tried to unload the ath_pci module and restart the network in /etc/powersave/sleep but that doesn't seem to work.
I guess it has something to do with the network deamon because when I try to restart my network manually it says that dhcpcd is already running for ath0... Oh, and also the iwconfig for ath0 seems to be perfectly correct after suspend...
Here's the network part of my rc.conf:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
ath0="dhcp"
wlan_ath0="ath0 essid FeelGood key s:******"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(ath0)
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 ath0)
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated

Well, maybe you already know this, but: ath_pci (the madwifi driver) is among blacklisted modules (/etc/hibernate/blacklisted-modules), so it gets unloaded during the suspend process. That screws up whatever wireless connection you might have had before suspending. Now if you have the option LoadModules auto in /etc/hibernate/common.conf, it should get loaded after resuming - but that of course doesn't renew the connection. So that I do is I have a short script that calls /etc/rc.d/network restart, and I run it manually after suspending to renew the connections.
BTW, I have this in /etc/hibernate/common.conf:
UnloadBlacklistedModules yes
LoadModules auto
EDIT: Eh, B managed to post before I finished writing this :)

S10-3 Wireless - not working with Windows 7

Hi, I bought the S10-3 two days ago and decided to load windows 7 (ultimate). The load was smooth but after I had finished the wireless was not working nut the wireless light on the front of the PC was on. The first strange thing I noticed was Fn5 did not work so the only on/off control I had was on the side switch. I eventually fixed this problem by downloading the driver from the internet , the wireless is the Atheros AR9285. Everything was well and proceeded to download anti-virus and other software.
Then disaster, during the time of downloading windows had also been doing some updates and when the system restarted there is NO WIRELESS.
It appears on boot that the "wireless" light indicator is ON and when windows fires up it goes off, I checked in the boot and it is enabled, I checked the driver again but it is OK but windows says it is not switched ON but I have checked the physical switch and it is ON.
Any ideas appreciated.
edit : correct machine model in postname

Hi and welcome, if all possible is switched on.. did you install the lenovo energymanagement ?
where you can switch (softwarebased) seperately wireless devices... if wifi still isnt work...
you have to bite in a sour apple and install windows 7 from a scratch again ... then first update all via windows updates , then ... install the lenovo energymanagement... , then, look in devicemanager if there is some questionmark ... in normal case there is no need other driver to install...
and all should be working... simply install a antivirus-program.. and all your need other personal stuff...

U430 Touch: wireless not working with windows 7

My friend bought a U430 Touch with Windows 8. He hated Win 8 so I helped him downgrade to Win 7. Now the wireless dowsn't work. Ethernet works fine and we are able to get on the internet, but wireless does not work at all. I've been to Lenovo's site and downloaded the drivers from their support site, but nothing weems to work. Is there a special driver I'm missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's possible that they are shipping with Intel only at the moment, but the Hardware Maintenance Manual lists two non-Intel cards: a Liteon, and a "non-Intel", whatever that means.

WRT54G wireless not working after upgrading to windows vista, please help

Hello everyone....
I have a few problems. I upgraded to Windows Vista and cant seem to get my wireless internet working. My router is WRT54G wireless-g broadband router. Ever since I upgraded Vista my xbox 360 will not connect.
I just bought a new wireless web camera and that does not work either because the wireless is not working.
Any suggestions on what I should do to solve this issue?
I noticed when I goto 192.168.1.1 my firmware version is Firmware Version: v3.03.9 does that have anything to do with it? Is there a more up-to-date version that will help?
Hope to hear from someone.

I have the same problem, and so does my son, he has a toshiba satellite new laptop and I have an acer new laptop, both have Vista on them, and my wife has XP and has no problem getting on teh router, but i have this problem everyday.
Eventually it will all of a sudden show up and connect and start working, then if you laeave your computer in standby movde overnight, it will still work in the morning, but if you shut down comeplety you will lose the connection for who knows how long. what is the fix Linksys?

Wireless not working on XP Pro

I am trying to connect to my wireless router (D-Link 802.11G) with a MacBook Santa Rosa and Windows XP Pro. It sees my wireless router, but hangs when it tries to connect. Other wireless connections work that are unsecured. The one that doesn't work uses WEP security, is that possibly the issue? It never gets to the point where I can enter the password. I tried pre-configuring it in the Windows wireless settings, but still no luck. It just says "waiting for connection" or something like that. Signal strength is five-bars, not a problem.

"The one that doesn't work uses WEP security, is that possibly the issue?"
This could be the issue. In fact I've had to disable WEP security AND turn on SSID broadcasting to even get a windows system to recognize my LAN before. After doing that and then successfully connecting to the LAN, what I needed to do was turn SSID broadcasting back off, then turn WEP security back on and when trying to connect to the same network again via the windows system that was giving me troubles, it picked up on the WEP and asked me for the WEP passkey. From that point on, the windows system kept that info and I had no problems after that.
Hope this helps.

Wireless not working on boot

I have an older PC (so it's not moving much...), and I'm trying to set up wireless connection trough a USB wireless adapter (Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter).
I have the correct drivers installed, and everything set up (doulbe checked of course).
The wireless setup during boot-time does not works, and prints the error message
Could not associate $1 - try increasing WIRELESS_TIMEOUT and check network is WEP or has no security
If I run iwgetid immeadiateley after login, I get the following output:
$ iwgetid wlan0 -ra

On the other hand, if I try a
sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
after I log in, it works flawlessley.
I've tried the following:
--> setting WIRELESS_TIMEOUT to 10 seconds, does not works (only after boot)
--> double checking the setup lines
--> reading the /etc/rc.d/network script, and executing the commands manually, it works
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network stop
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid BodorWLAN key s:wikey
$ sudo iwgetid wlan0 -ra

Note: I modified sensitive information (passwd, stb.)
I'm running out of ideas, since the network script appears to be working always except at boot time.

Activating the usb hooks in the ramdisk did not done the job, as the network demon only runs late in boottime (maybe I'm just being imprecise, i'm meaning the part, where it already entered the final runlevel).
On the other hand, I did tracked down the problem, and I beliveve it's some kind of desing-flaw in the wireless USB utility. (Or I'm just not aware of a certain feature in it.)
I modified /etc/rc.d/network to resend the iwconfig to the device after the 2 second sleep, and it seems to work sometimes.

My only question now is that how could I achieve the same solution in a more elegant way, I'm a bit confused, because the above script does the exact same stuff that my modified /etc/rc.d/network would supposed to be doing.
