Can't locate Wi-Fi after clean installation.

[ Edited ]

Hey guys,

 

I just reinstalled my new notebook because I wanted to relocate HDD partions and such, and after I made fresh reinstall, I can't locate my Wi-Fi. I can locate it easily with iPod, but on notebook, it just doesn't show up at all, it says there is no connection available. Also, in Network Center, the line between my PC and Internet has red cross over it. 

 

Anyone can help me out? I guess it would be drivers, but which exactly?

 

He are drivers for my category - http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/uk/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=867235

 

It is Lenovo IdeaPad Y570. I already downloaded pretty much all necessary ones (I left out stuff like RapidStorage and other additional things I am not into). 

 

Thanks! 

 

EDIT: Oh, and also, network card is turned on (the switch on right side of notebook) and it is also turned on by Fn key (Fn + F5). 

EDIT2: I just noticed there is yellow exclamation mark next to "Network Adapter" in Device Manager.

Got nearly the same problem like you.

 

Is there only the bluetooth option displayed on the Fn+F5 menu or also the network?
