It is very hard to say much without a dmesg. As far as I am aware, the Yoga type system do not have ethernet ports and probably only have wireless network interfaces. The easiest route is to use a USB ethernet adapter to connect to a network in order to run fw_update to get whatever firmware is needed. That is not a guarantee though. All of the Lenovo systems I have right now (ThinkPad X1 Carbon 1st Gen, ThinkPad X230, ThinkPad 11e, LaVie Z, ThinkPad X260, and ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th Gen) all use Intel wireless cards supported by the iwm(4) or iwm(4) drivers. However, none of these are "Yoga" type systems and they might have some other wireless network interface. OpenBSD has excellent UEFI support and almost all of the systems I listed above are working great with a UEFI install. Again, a dmesg would answer most of these questions. Bryan
