I am new to Ubuntu and recently put in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS into my Lenovo Ideapad yoga 13 ultrabook. Installation went fine but for some reason I was not able to detect wifi. I already had windows 8 on the ultra book and wifi worked fine on windows.
I was able to solve the issue after updating the kernel to 3.14.4 .

Following this I dowloaded the driver files for realtek rtl8723ae-bt wifi card. (here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/sanq19s3vv1d9c9/RTL8723AS-VAU+linux+driver.zip)

Then I found this really useful video on youtube which gives a step by step explanation as to how we can install these driver files.

NOTE: THE STEPS IN THE VIDEO WILL NOT WORK UNLESS THE KERNEL IS UPDATED.

Would rather prefer the ubuntu software coming with the 3.14.4 kernel as default. Such issues will only aid in discouraging new users from trying out the software
