My new Lenovo Yoga 13 is preloaded with Window 8 operating system (not Win 8 pro). Because there is a conflict with one of my software, I had to downgrade it to Win 7. Now my Internet is not connected. Does someone know the driver that can be used please? Lenovo doesn't support downgrade from Win 8 to Win 7 unless it is preloaded with Windows 8 pro. Therefore, they don't provide a driver for this case.

If no driver is possible, then you're out-of-luck. It's possible that you could use an "air card", though. Those provide internet access thru the cell phone system, but it's pricey... both for the card and for the service.

I think those cards are usually rebranded Atheros or Broadcom ones. I wonder if you can force a generic driver for those on it...
