Q: Problems with wifi on lenovo yoga 3 pro running fedora I recently purchased a lenovo yoga pro 3, and installed linux mint on it instead of windows. Mint didn't work very well however, lacking drivers for many of the yoga's features like the touchscreen, so I tried upgrading the kernel. This fixed some things and broke others, including the wifi. (the wifi did initially work however)
I tried all of the minty troubleshooting I could find, but finally decided to try another of my favorite distros, fedora. Everything works perfectly now, except wifi. 
So the wifi card CAN be linux compatible, but apparently only with outdated mint running proprietary drivers. I would like to get the wifi working on fedora so that I am only working on fixing one issue instead of five.
Has anyone any idea if I can use mint's drivers in fedora or have any other solution to my problem?
As for as I can tell the onboard wifi card is broadcom. 
It's also worth noting that I have tried debian mint and ubuntu and both failed miserably. 

A: FC21 on Yoga 3 WIFI works, see this:

Also, power saving on my Yoga3 is wonderful with FC21, see this:

A: I just dealt with this for the past couple of days, with the Yoga 3 Pro, with a fresh install of Fedora 21. I'm assuming you're using your phone to tether the machine to the internet and ran "yum update" after installing. Like other people/sites have said, installing kmod-wl from the terminal does work as root. If your install is like mine, the problem is an issue of kernel compatibility. Installing akmod-wl would theoretically have been another good idea (as it rebuilds the module with the kernal in mind, but for some reason it didn't work for me. Try "yum install kmod-wl-3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64.x86_64" and reboot the system from there. Just doing "yum install kmod-wl" points to kmod-wl-3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64.x86_64. I'm too new to figure out how to update the kernel to that version.
