Smile Setting up Ubuntu 14 wireless on a new laptop


Setting up Ubuntu 14 wireless on a new Lenovo laptop is proving to be aproblem-Setting u on my Ubuntu 11 and Crunch Bang machine. Was a simple task,this time however it is being elusive.

For example on the 11.4 machine a simple window asks for the router code and am else is automatic

This has not happened so far on new machine and Ubuntu installed.
TB][he machine works fine with Ethernet cable.
All suggestions welcome

The first thing that comes to mind, although I thought Ubuntu included such, is that your adapter requires a non-free firmware.

What is the output of

Code:
lspci | grep Wireless
