I clean installed Ubuntu 16.04 today. All seems to be working fine except Wi-Fi. The drop down menu shows no Wi-Fi connection option.

  1. I did a rfkill list -

Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no

  1. Then tried lshw -class network -

*-network Description: Network controller Product: QCA6164 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter Vebdor: Qualcomm Atheros Physical id: 0 Bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 Version: 20 Width: 64 bits Clock: 33 MHz Capabilities: bus_master cap_list Configuration: driver=ath10k_pci latency=0 Resources: irq:39 memory:f0800000-f09fffff

  1. Tried almost every solution provided here - Can't view Wifi networks after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04

I think somehow either Ubuntu is not detecting my Wi-Fi hardware or I don't have the sufficient driver to get it working. Please help me.

N.B. - Since my laptop has no internet connection, I had to type every details through my phone. So any mistake is regretted.

Please download this file on some other computer and transfer it on a USB key or similar: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb

Drag and drop it to the desktop of your Lenovo. Open a terminal and do:

cd ~/Desktop
sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware*.deb

Reboot and let us know if it is now working.
