Replaced win 8 with win 7 can not get wireless to work
Just bought Lenovo 580 which cane with win 8. As laptop has no touch screen win 8 is problematic and I don't like it in any case so I installed win 7 pro 64 bit in dual boot configuration till I get win 7 working properly. Most things fine but the Broadcom wireless is not working. It worked under 8 and a Kubuntu flash drive. Normally fn + f5 turns radio on and off but it will not work. Trouble shooting indicates radio is off but device controller says driver is fine and the latest. Have any other Lenovo owners fixed the problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I have a usb wireless I could use but that defeats the purpose of a laptop. Lenovo techs helpful but as I changed the OS I would have to go to paid ($89) single incident software help
Really if a flash-drive run drive of Linux works then some how windows 7 should be able to do it.
