Re: Problem with wifi on lenovo g50

Hi, this is my first post at this forum, sorry for my english Well, I have this same laptop, and I think for this moment we cant turn on wifi at this hardware.
Our wifi card is not supported in arch linux, and we must wait few months when they write drivers for that.

Re: Problem with wifi on lenovo g50

Hi

I have a Lenovo G50-70 which works fine with Arch Linux on whatever thing I've used.
Is your model only named G50 or does it have some other suffix (like mine is -70)?

Re: Problem with wifi on lenovo g50

I`m sory, my laptop is : G50-80 i5-5200U/16GB/1000/DVD-RW R5 M330.

Ok, my wi-fi now is working:

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 0621
        Kernel driver in use: wl
        Kernel modules: bcma, wl

I just install this:
aur/broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-1 [installed] (29)
    Broadcom 802.11abgn hybrid Linux networking device driver
