    Hello.
    Sorry for my english . Thanks to Google Translate.

    I installed the kernel 3.9.4 and the speed increased to my maximum.

    If you want to this ,open a terminal and navigate to temporary directory

    cd /tmp
    Download the necessary packages:

    32bit:

    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_i386.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-image-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_i386.deb
    64bit:

    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_all.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-headers-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.4-saucy/linux-image-3.9.4-030904-generic_3.9.4-030904.201305241545_amd64.deb

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb
    Update GRUB

    sudo update-grub2
    Restart your computer.
    Remember that you do so at your own risk.

    Just thought I'd point out this article about touch features coming to 13.10

    I can confirm that this kernel update fixed wifi speeds for me too. Maybe its obvious, but I thought I should mention that the drivers need to be reinstalled after the update.

    I can confirm on my Lenovo Yoga 13 (8GB, 128GB) that these WiFi drivers did the trick.

    Note, you have to move them / rename the folders they come in such that there are no spaces in the path. Try moving them to ~/rtek for instance-- from there, using make/make install worked wonders. You may need to run ./make_drv to choose which driver to build/use prior to the make/make install -- I wound up compiling and installing both.

    Make sure you keep these wifi drivers handy, as every time you update your kernel via regular updates you're going to need them again ...

    Edit: Since I haven't seen another good Lenovo Yoga thread on these forums, I should elaborate on my setup:
    I purchased the 128GB model, but upgraded manually to a crucial 256GB. I cloned the 128 over to the 256 and then swapped the disks -- This broke windows. I was unable to use any of the built-in recovery tools successfully to repair the installation, but performing a new installation from disc (using a USB cd rom) worked without having to re-enter a key-- W8 recognized the Lenovo/OEM info. I then installed my drivers/programs from the former D:\Lenovo partition to get everything working again.

    I then installed Ubuntu 12.10 onto HDD1, the 128GB. The installation worked, but linux was unable to boot successfully -- it couldn't find the root filesystem. I unplugged my 256gb leaving the 128 in the second slot (hdd1) and reinstalled ubuntu. I then plugged the 256gb back in and now I can switch back and forth between W8 and Ubuntu by using the bios button on the Yoga to choose between the two drives at boot time.

    I have left Intel Rapid Start, UEFI and secure boot enabled, and everything appears to be working great! The rapid start in particular is still functioning well with windows -- I have startup times of about 4 seconds from a cold boot.

    If anyone was interested in a similar setup -- Yes, it can be done. Great machine so far, even if UEFI/GPT and so forth is a little more of a headache than MBR used to be.


    Hi hi,

    I am also trying to install the wireless drivers to my yoga 13 on ubuntu 13 however I am new and inexperienced to Ubuntu, can you share the commands for installing the drivers using terminal?

    Thank you

    Hi all,

    My attempt to install the wireless driver for my yoga 13 got stalled at the make command line

    jun@Thinktoy:~/rtl8723a$ make
    make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.8.0-25-generic/build M=/home/jun/rtl8723a modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-25-generic'
    CC [M] /home/jun/rtl8723a/core/rtw_cmd.o
    In file included from /home/jun/rtl8723a/core/rtw_cmd.c:23:0:
    /home/jun/rtl8723a/include/osdep_service.h: In function ‘thread_enter’:
    /home/jun/rtl8723a/include/osdep_service.h:1418:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘daemonize’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
    make[2]: *** [/home/jun/rtl8723a/core/rtw_cmd.o] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [_module_/home/jun/rtl8723a] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-25-generic'
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

    then I try installing the wireless driver:

    jun@Thinktoy:~/rtl8723a$ make install
    install -p -m 644 8723au.ko /lib/modules/3.8.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
    install: cannot stat ‘8723au.ko’: No such file or directory
    make: *** [install] Error 1

    I got these, how do I solve these issues and eventually successfully install the wireless driver?

    Thank you
    J

    Hi Jun 1980,

    Did you follow the instructions that Joon posted? (see below)

    (if you don't have git, download the .zip archive)

    $ cd rtl8723au

    $ make && sudo make install

    Will compile & install the driver. I have tested it and it works well on my Yoga 13.

    -Joon
    This worked for me. Also I had my system up to date with:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
    I had a working internet connection through a usb adapter though, if you don't have that then I'm not sure what you can do to get your system up to date.

    try:

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb

    you need the spaces in there.

    EDIT: ok, so the font in this forum (at least on my computer) makes it look like all one command. Either copy and paste what I typed or remember to put a space between 'dpkg', '-i', and '*.deb'

    Re: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Ultrabook

    Hi bhowlett,

    Thanks again, I install the 3 kernels from the software centre and also update the grub then I reinstalled the drivers but now the laptop established wireless connection but I can't get internet connection.

    How do I find out what the issue is and how do i remedy it?

    Thanks yet again
