I've tried all the fixes and ran out of Google.

At first I had to type "sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop" into the Terminal at startup for the wifi to work. Now it works after I did a more permanent Terminal fix I found here. But it stops working after around ten minutes.

Help! Isn't there a driver I can install or anything? This is the first time I've ever had problems with Ubuntu and I don't wanna install Win 8 again.

You can try what is described here: Lenovo g5030 not having any hardware switch for wifi or bluetooth after installing ubuntu 14.04

basically try to write this in terminal:

sudo rmmod ideapad_laptop

if it works, the for make it permanent try:

echo "blacklist ideapad_laptop" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf

for me it worked flawlessly...
