 From the way you wrote the previous message, I thought you had found a Linux 
driver on the Lenovo website. Obviously, you have only found Windows drivers. 
Some of them will work on Linux by using ndiswrapper. It can be quite difficult 
to get setup and may not work.

According to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, your device 
is handled by the Broadcom proprietary driver wl.
