Then that would be the problem. You have to have the drivers installed to talk to the hardware.
You can find them at the manufacturers website.

I have went on the download went through it all and it says the driver is provided by Microsoft within your windows 8.1 .... Please use the windows 8.1 inbox drive I'm stuck and don't know what to do at this point

You actually downloaded the correct driver?

The correct driver doesn't have a download, broadcom is the one I need to download and it doesn't have one .. If you go through all the right stuff on the Lenovo website (g580) (LAN wireless) and look at Broadcom it doesn't have the download ..
