It looks like Lenovo G550 Uses Broadcom 4312 WiFi chip. This should be supported by b43 wifi driver included in the kernel. However, maybe firmware is missing. You could find a nice howto about Broadcom chips on Fedora here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=239922 Section "Firmware installation" is probably the most interesting for you. Broadcom support via b43 driver: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 In order to find the real problem, could you post output of $ lspci and /var/log/messages file?
