The newer batch of Y580 is around the corner. Wait if u can wait.
It may come with i7-3630QM+Linux/ freeDOS with cheaper price.

The latest Broadcom wireless LAN driver for Win7 32/64 is 5.100.82.139 - IdeaPad S300/S400.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/...?DocID=DS030386
It should be usable for Y580 since they normally don't modify the broadcom wireless driver to fit for any specific laptop.
Pls try it up & report back whether it solve the wireless issues of Y580 & any improvement.

The stock Y580 Broadcom wireless LAN driver is 5.100.82.112.

Any volunteer pro user of Ideapad Y series who has spare time to open/maintain v2?
Wish to see Y series better than other threads as its very popular with Y580/Y480 and the new Y500 & upcoming Y400.

IMO, its better to combine all Y series under one roof rather than open so many Y series threads to compete with each other.
It will also help the "Alien Y" motheship thread move faster to next version.
Pro users of Y580/Y480 can also help the junior new user of Y500/Y400 or future Yxx series to overcome the Lenovo software/hardware issues since its under the same cateogory of Lenovo multimedia Y series.

Needs a good sumaritan to handle the increasing popular "Alien Y" motheship.
