I got a new ThinkPad E460 with no OS installed, but had an ubuntu 13.10 USB stick around which I used to install ubuntu 13.10.
The OS works fine, however I can't connect to the internet through Ethernet or Wireless. (Also the clickpad won't work.)
I am not very used to linux, but know a little how to use a shell.
So far, to solve my problem, I googled and found numerous approaches, of which none worked for me, but I found some things out.
ifconfig -a returns:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:cd:fe:b5:c4:17 inet addr:172.20.10.3 Bcast:172.20.10.15 Mask:255.255.255.240 inet6 addr: fe80::cd:feff:feb5:c417/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:18970 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:18365 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:12962022 (12.9 MB) TX bytes:2967244 (2.9 MB)lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:4564 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4564 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:451662 (451.6 KB) TX bytes:451662 (451.6 KB)
The eth0 should be my iPhones Mobile Hotspot via Bluetooth.
sudo lshw -c network returns:

From what I understood, the UCLAIMED means a driver issue, however I failed to load them through backport. Loading a new Version of Ubuntu or any other OS is not possible, since I don't want to blow my phones data plan.
For now I have to leave, but will be back in about 2 hours. Any help will be greatly appreciated and any information needed to solve the problem, I will provide.
