IdeaPad Z710 Linux drivers?

Trying to install Debian Linux on the Z710, Wheezy NetInstall fails to detect the wired Ethernet card.
Does anyone know which device provides the 10/100Mb wired ethernet connection, or which Linux driver I am looking for?

Well, I installed Bodhi-Linux which is a derivate of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
For info:
When I switched to console, I noticed that tty4 is not possible to be accessed. In Midnight Commander (it's a small prog, like Norton Commander, for the terminal) F4 will call the nano-editor, this does not work. It's a bios bug, I think the scan code can be remapped.
Bumblebee is for using the Intel-graphics and the Nvidia-graphics, my Z710 has got Optimus. On Bodhi this works, but after reboot the bumblebee daemon have to be started by root in a terminal. Surely a modul problem, could be solved by blacklisting some modules.
Secured Boot is an option for the UEFI-system (booting) which only allows certified bootloader to be booted. A few distros could handle this by using "shim".
I will go with KALI-Linux (debian based), because of the newer kernel, 3.12.x instad of 3.8.x.

Ideapad z710 wifi drivers isues

Hi guys, i just installed Arch on my brand new Lenovo ideapad Z710 yesterday. Today i decided to install NetworkManager (i was using a netctl profile until now) the problem is that when i try to connect to wifi, Network Manager keeps prompting me for the password and never actually connects, i think the problem is with my wireless drivers, cause when i plugged in a wifi adaptor other than the laptop's built in one everything worked like a charm and ethernet also works fine.
Here's some info..

Ideapad z710 windows 7 wireless issue

Hello. First of all, I would like to say I love how great the products lenovo puts out there.
Second of all, I am frustrated. I just purchased a Lenovo z710 and dualbooted with Windows 7 since Windows 8 was my primary OS (ew).
So I downloaded all of the drivers necessary for the Windows 7 OS, and all of them work...but my wireless.
I am running the 64bit model of 7. I cannot get the wireless driver to work or "install" Much help would be appreciated!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There was a long thread on one of the boards here that was about the exact same issue but on a different laptop.
Turned out the problem was UEFI, but they were doing it with an SSD. In there case UEFI had to be updated.
But there is another thread specifically with your exact same issues.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/ideapad-z710-windows-7-wireless/td-p/12718...
There are some solutions there that may work for you.
As for the company not caring about any software other than windows 8, if you get right down to it, the system worked perfectly well with the supplied OS, it was your choice to downgrade. Did you check to see if this was possible before purchasing the system? I feel the same way as most of you probably do, I like Windows 7 much more than Windows 8. Windows 8.1 is kind of a median version between the two. If you don't have a touch screen, it still is not fun. But Windows 7 mainstream support ends in January and extended support dies in January 2020. That means after January you will have to pay Microsoft to get help with windows. If you look around you will find that ALL manufacturers have either totally stop selling systems with Windows 7 or are pretty close to it. And I can assure you after January they will stop all sales of Windows 7. At that point if there are not drivers for your devices, chances are pretty good there never will be. Very few OEM's continue writing drivers for operating systems that are in the process of being phased out.

Where are the Audigy 2 ZS Linux Drivers?????????????????????????????????????????

I Just recently installed Fedora core 4 on a partition on one of the Raids and discovered I cannot find a creative Audigy2 zs linux driver anywhere? I have found a all in one alsa driver set but so far no success, and i'd prefer not to use non certified drivers on the audigy2 due to hardware failing on me in the past because of bad drivers. Why is there a Linux section in the drivers area and no linux drivers? eh common if you haven't coded linux drivers after the ammount of time the audigy2 zs has been released for ... then why you guys are going to have to have the proverbial finger removed from the preverbial arse and support your customers ... I've seen 00's of questions in forums about creative drivers for linux ... if you guys are going to be racists and only code microsloth / bloatware then I think i'll be more than happy to chuck the audigy2 on the junk pile and use the evil on board ac '97 which HAS Linux drivers....

Can I use LINUX Drivers in Solaris 10...

As a beginner, I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto my system. The motherboard is ASUS M2A-VM, with integrated graphics, network interface, audio, etc...
My audio and network interface are not working... The motherboard came with a cd which has windows drivers and additional software.
It also has linux drivers for:
Audio:
Core5
Core6
Linux
RHEL4
SUSE10
Other
realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05f
LAN
FreeBSD
Linux
SCO_OpenServer6
Unixware7.x
Chipset, and RAID!
Has anyone used any of these ASUS Linux drivers with Solaris...
If so what steps do I need to take to get them to work on my system! (I hate to ask, I know you all have better things to do) Maybe you can point me to a good book that explains how to go step by step...
My question is how do I get my NIC to work (What steps do I need to follow? the sound is not an issue, as, I can do with out that. Will any of the drivers mentioned above work?) thank you in advance for your answers...

Drivers are the "connective tissue" between the Operating System and the hardware. The connections from the drivers to the OS are not compatible between different operating systems, so no, you cannot use Linux drivers in Solaris.
If the OS is similar enough you can sometimes get away with it -- example, using Solaris 9 drivers in Solaris 10. But between completely different OSes? Won't work.

Is it possible to use linux drivers to get a pluscom USB to ethernet adaptor to work.

I'm grasping at straws here, the adaptor it seems has only linux and windows drivers and I'm avoiding having to return it, given the dramatic difference in price between these adaptors and the official apple onese for a device with the same functionality it'd be best to get these working. I found an open source website with drivers for other brands which are said to work for devices not of the particular brand the driver is said to be for as well but there's no guarantee. I'd try these out but none of those on offer are for the right chipset (ADM8515) so I think it would be very risky to try running drivers that are open source, not from the developer, and are for a different chipset.
The cd that came with the device has linux drivers, Mac OS x and linux are in a way based on the same architecture, is there a chance these drivers are installable and would work with Mac OS x 10.6.8?

Yeh Great thanks, anyone have any real answers? Incidentally it isn't my machine which shouldn't really be of any importance to the discussion as I'm asking for technical advice about the Mac OS x system. But yeh thanks your glib remarks help a great deal.

LabVIEW for Linux, Drivers for DAQCard 500 & DAQCard-AO-2DC

I can't seem to find the drivers on the web site. If they are not yet available, when can I get them? Thank you, Harry

Harry,
National Instruments currently does not provide any linux drivers for its daq devices. You can get all the related info you need about labview, daq and linux from http://www.ni.com/linux/.
Check this site out and it'll lead you to the Comedi project website from where you may be able to get open-source drivers for some of NI's data acquistion products.

MP54G2 MiniPCI WiFi Car - WPA2 and Linux drivers or support?

Hi All,
I have a Rock Quddra T64 laptop with a MP54G2 module installed. I am looking for two thing from the MP54G2 WiFi module.
1) Support of WPA2 encryption. The standard driver for windows support WPA but even with the update from MS, they do not appear to support the newer WPA2. This would be highly usefull as WiFi router already support this standard.
2) Linux drivers. I am also looking for Linux support for this module. Obviously with the equivalant Windows support feature set and WPA2 as given above.
Many thanks
Chris

Well, I have found out that the chipset in the MP54G2 MiniPCI module is a Ralink RT2500. This is supported natively in the newer versions of Linux. I myself am using Kubuntu Beta (6.04).
However, there is a gottcha withi this. On my set up I have set my wireless router to use channel 13 and out of the box the Linux driver is only setup up to scan channels 1-11. Of course I had a hell of a time figureing out what was going on. There do seem to be ways around this which I will investigate.
Still, I don't know of any information as to when, or if, there will be drivers in Linux or Windows that will support WPA2 authentication. MSI's technical team has, once again, lacked in thier support.

Petition to Synaptics about Linux drivers

To Synaptics Corporation:
I am writing this on my new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which comes with a beautiful screen and your Synaptics Clickpad. I have created this petition because there are a lot of problems with your hardware on Linux that are frustrating, time-wasting, and distracting.
I’ve been using your Trackpads happily on Linux for years, but with your new model, things are such a mess that they get in the way of my ability to work. What if Linux users added up all the time they have collectively wasted and sent you the bill? Given that Linux on the desktop has more marketshare than the Mac, the total number would have a lot of zeros. With the suffering I’ve been through, I’d sign up for $200 / year.
I know you spend most of your effort working on the Windows drivers, and that is fine because it is cheaper to maintain Linux drivers. The community will help you. I read you’ve written a Linux driver, but you never made it available. You are apparently happy to write something no one uses. There is a free driver Synaptics Linux kernel driver written for your users, but it is buggy with newer hardware and you aren’t helping fix it.
I wrote a full review of Linux on my new hardware talking about the problems with your mouse in more detail. The key point is that your new devices with an integrated button require smarter software to be usable. Well, now that you’ve pushed this new hardware of dubious benefit, what are you going to do? I create this petition to ask you to do three things:
Release a copy of your proprietary Linux driver under the GPL and publish it somewhere where it can be used as a reference.
Find a smart kernel engineer from somewhere in your 550-person company and have them help maintain the existing Linux driver.
Help ensure the Gnome, KDE, and XFCE user interfaces allow customers to configure the gestures and other advanced features. While you wait for the magic that is Windows 9, you must have some free time.
We can wonder why Linux on the desktop hasn’t arrived like it has for cellphones and servers, but in the meanwhile, it would be nice if you made sure the effing mouse works out of the box.
If you are frustrated with Synaptics hardware on Linux, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/synaptics-corporation-help-maintain-linux-drivers

I absolutely agree and I doubt why for over a year this topic here is left without any official answer from Lenovo.
I am also *asking for releasing drivers available for Windows so I could make use of them on Linux*.

Bitte um Lösungen.

Hallo David4,
vielen Dank für deine Anfrage und willkommen im LENOVO-Forum.
Wurde irgendein Update durchgeführt (bsp. Treiber-Update der GK oder Windows-Update)??
Hast du den GK-Treiber mal deinstalliert und neu installiert...? Siehe unsere HP:

Hardware specifics on audio and Linux drivers

S300-EZ2502 owner here.
Pretty happy with how it works with windows. Never much liked windows though.
Did an Ubuntu 9.04 installation.
Everything except audio worked.
I am confused as to who made the driver and to whether there are Linux drivers and configurations for this card.
Linux has always worked well on my prior Toshiba Laptops.
Solved!

Eureka!
If you use the link I posted earlier and/or info from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416207&page=4
... What it involves is changing the codec by editing the alsa-base.conf file...
sudo /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
...then adding a line to the end of the file...
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
... only "auto" didn't work for me. Tried several of the options at http://git.alsa-project.org for my sound card before finding one that worked.
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but this works for me:
options snd-hda-intel model=acer

Where can I find linux drivers for my laptop? Does lenovo support provides that to download?

Dear All,
I purchased a Lenovo G570 (Model Name: 20079).
Where can I find linux drivers for my laptop?
Does lenovo support provides that to download?
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

Hello snayak
Do not worry about Linux drivers for your laptop. All needed drivers for most of the machines are on the Linux kernel. Most hardware are recognized by latest kernel. So all you have to do is install your distro and enjoy Linux.
The best way to check if all hardware are recognized is booting up a distro in live mode and test the hardware.
You can make a test with Linux Mint, and install their new and amazing DE called Cinnamon. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
