Wireless refuses to work
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 from the AMD64 image on the Ubuntu website. I proceeded to make a bootable USB stick, booted, etc. I installed Ubuntu onto a Lenovo V570 notebook. My problem consists of the wireless not showing up and refusing to work, which is odd because it worked decently in Windows 7. I tried googling, and got the suggestion to use a few commands. Below are the commands: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep...(the big long one), lspci, and lsusb, and their outputs. It's running an Intel i5 processor, with Sandy Bridge drivers.
Command:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hwinfo grep; sudo lshw -C network; rfkill list; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/
