wireless - Wifi not working on Lenovo z570 Ubuntu 12.04


I installed Ubuntu 12.04 Precise on a Lenovo Z570, but the WiFi isn't working. I noticed that the WiFi Network is UNCLAIMED using the command sudo lshw -C network. Anybody can help?


WiFi card: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000


Here are my system info:


salim@ss-host:~$ uname -a
Linux ss-host 3.5.0-37-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 8 22:10:28 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

dmesg | grep iwl returns nothing.

Thank you.



the Wifi issue has been fixed, once I have updated my Ubuntu machine, and the Wifi/blue-tooth are detected, etc. Also, the Wifi hardware it's not anymore flagged as UNCLAIMED, it's recognized now using the (lshw -C Network).


Best,
