[kwlug-disc] Question regarding Lenovo G780

[143 News]

Hi Paul:

My Lenovo G780 according to Windows 7 device manager has the following 
internal network interfaces:

Atheros AR8162/8166/8168 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 USB  11

I am not sure if this helps.
