hello there!
my laptop, the lenovo yoga 700-14isk needs a newer kernel for the wireless to work...
is it safe to upgrade the kernel to newer versions?
and the best way to do this?
Thanks!

i need to be 4.1 or higher...
I definitely would NOT upgrade the kernel, as you will likely cause more problems.
To get wireless going, I'd recommend getting one of the compatible wireless cards. A little investment now will save you a lot of time & headaches.
Nodding my head to grid's post and saying it again "DO NOT UPDATE KERNEL"do this
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_me...25.17.12.0.tgz
Download that and then extract it to wherever, then change the files:
iwlwifi-7265D-13.ucode to iwlwifi-3165-9.ucode
iwlwifi-7265-13.ucode to iwlwifi-3165-13.ucode
The move those two renamed files to /lib/firmware
You should be good to go. I only did a quick look at your box specs and I saw it had an IntelĀ® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
Does it?? Hope it does because I know it worked on mine.
Cheers 8^)
