rfkill list all - It's showing me only bluetooth and nothing about wireless. ,wifi not working, ubuntu 16.04
In your readings, we saw a malformed and possibly un-needed .conf file and suggested that you remove it.
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf
Next, we found that the needed module was not installed in your currently running kernel and suggested that you re-install it.
sudo apt install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
Finally, we found that Secure Boot was preventing the loading of the module and suggested that it be disabled in the BIOS.
With these changes, your wireless is working.

I'm new here. I'm sorry when I make a mistake. I have just installed UBUNTU 16.04 LTS/
I have problem with Wifi.
I can't enable wifi in my laptop. I have lenovo G50-70.
iwconfig
:enp1s0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
The output for
sudo lshw -C network
is:*-network UNCLAIMED
network-manager is already the newest version (1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.2).
It's showing me only bluetooth and nothing about wireless.
rfkill list all
:1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
I have Windows 8.1 on this computer too and wifi is working properly.
lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:635 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with '“blacklist' 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) Subsystem: Lenovo BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [17aa:0621] Kernel modules: wl 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no

chili555 almost 6 yearsSince you have no rfkill affecting the wireless, why do you blacklist ideapad_something? The file is faulty.
-
supermario almost 6 yearsDo you know how I can repair this file?
-
chili555 almost 6 yearsUnless you have any evidence that you actually need it in order for wireless not to be hard blocked in rfkill, I'd suggest that you remove it:
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf
and reboot. If wireless is not then working, edit your question to add the result of the terminal command:sudo modprobe wl
