Ubuntu – Wifi doesnt work on fresh ubuntu 16.04

16.04networkingwireless

First of all im sorry if this thread is duplicated with another one, but i didnt find a solution for the problem.

So i bought new laptop (Lenovo Y520) and setup dual boot Win10 with Ubuntu 16.04 and wireless doesnt work for the ubuntu (LAN works).

ifconfig

iwconfig

enp4s0    no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

I ran some commands which found in another threads.

sudo lshw -class network

Best Answer

Run in a terminal

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf <<< "blacklist ideapad_laptop"

and reboot. This should unblock your Wi-Fi.
