I'm new here. I'm sorry when I make a mistake. I have just installed UBUNTU 16.04 LTS/
I have problem with Wifi.
I can't enable wifi in my laptop. I have lenovo G50-70.
iwconfig
:
enp1s0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
The output for sudo lshw -C network
is:
*-network
UNCLAIMED
network-manager is already the newest version (1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.2).
It's showing me only bluetooth and nothing about wireless.
rfkill list all
:
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I have Windows 8.1 on this computer too and wifi is working properly.
lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list

In your readings, we saw a malformed and possibly un-needed .conf file and suggested that you remove it.
Next, we found that the needed module was not installed in your currently running kernel and suggested that you re-install it.
Finally, we found that Secure Boot was preventing the loading of the module and suggested that it be disabled in the BIOS.
With these changes, your wireless is working.
