I'm having a lot of trouble getting the wireless adapter on my Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro 1370 Ultrabook working. The OS reports No Wi-Fi Adapter Found.

I've installed Ubuntu 19.04.

I've spent several nights going through similar questions, such as

Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers
No wireless Ubuntu 15.10 for Lenovo Yoga 3 11 (I downloaded the deb file for 19.04 and did the same instructions).

When i run the command lspci -nn -d 14e4:, the following info is provided about my Broadcom adapater: [14e4:43b1] (rev 03)

This is a bit tricky as this laptop has no Ethernet port or CD drive.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I figured out a way to get this done. As I mentioned in the orig post, the problem was that I had no way of accessing the Internet to run apt-get commands, as the laptop has no Ethernet port.

Or so I thought. I completely forgot about tethering a phone using a USB cable. I tethered my Android phone and was able to follow the instructions in this Ask Ubuntu answer.

That applied to my Yoga 3 Pro because, as stated in my question, I have a Broadcom adapter.

Hope this helps others who find themselves in my predicament.
