[Bug 1456656] Re: Lenovo G50-45 Wireless card Qualcomm Atheros Device not Working.

 

Chris,

I have updated the BIOS from the link provided as requested. But,
nothing changed, still WIFI card is not getting detected.

Moreover, by default, Secure Boot was enabled, so only Windows was
loading everytime. So, I went into the BIOS setup and disabled the
Secure Boot. But still, the grub is not showing up and Windows is
booting by default.

So, I had to open the Boot menu manually and choose Ubuntu to bring up
Ubuntu.

After that I found that there is no change to the connectivity. Its
still the same.

The output of the given command is: 
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Could you please let me know how to make the grub appear as before the BIOS update even with the Secure boot disabled ? 
Is there any command to make it work ?

Thanks,
Chris
