Hello,
Longtime Ubuntu user here who's spent a good few years figuring out how to keep my system running via google and other people's forum posts, finally stumped.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad V570; in the main, I love it, but I installed Lucid almost as soon as I got it home and haven't been able to get the system to acknowledge its wireless card since. It basically acts as though the toggle switch on the side of the laptop that enables/disables the wireless card is turned off. (It isn't.)
The card is an Intel Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150. Apparently the iwlwifi drivers I need to make it run are notoriously problematic, but I haven't worked out exactly what I need to be running or installing to make them work.
lspci gets you:

I'm not altogether sure which of these, if any, is supposed to be my wireless module; I suspect this may be the problem.Code:lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.

Hopefully there's enough here; I'm afraid I've been staring through forum posts for so long that I don't know up from down on this one any more. I'd really like to find a way to get my wireless card working. Thanks!
