I tried to install 12.04, 13.04, and now 13.10 on the machine and followed all the instructions that made sense that I could find and still have not gotten wifi to work.

It keeps it hard blocked for some reason, not sure why and not sure anyone out there either has figured it out because I would have found it on Google.

When I boot from the formatted USB drive, I have WiFi and everything working, why doesn't work after the USB drive is removed?
What driver is the USB/wubi or whatever using so that I can install it and have things working? I could have used wubi and installed Ubuntu like that, but I want to make this machine a fully dedicated Ubuntu machine.
The laptop is a Lenovo S205 in case anyone can help. I really would like to use 12.04 or higher, i don't want to downgrade to an older version of Ubuntu if at all possible.
