I found this in the Internet:
Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 drivers for Linux
Free drivers for Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 for Linux. Found 1 file.
https://driverscollection.com/?H=IdeaPa ... o&SS=Linux
I do not know what it is for. I could install it, but if I then have some problems with function or starting Linux, what then?
Can I install it again? And if Linux does not start?
It is Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 ThinkVantage Access Connections driver v.1.00 for Linux
Lenovo install file?

Re: Lenovo install file?
Is there any reason why you think you may benefit from extra or different drivers? If not, isn't this a solution in search of a problem?
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

Agreed, there's an old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Re: Lenovo install file?
The Thinkvantage Access Connections is mainly a "helper" application to automatically switch network connections & handle logging in when switching frequently between different networks. It saves specific login data & settings for a particular network in case you need some different setup when changing from one network to another.
Unless this describes your usage, it's likely not something you need. You technically don't *need* it even if it is something you do.... it can just help make things easier - - kind of like a password manager helps with logging in to different applications.
I'd skip it unless you really think it would be helpful for you?

Linux doesn't have backwards compatibility like Windows does, so don't touch it. It'll break the OS.
And as mentioned, if it's working don 't mess with it.

As soon as it says "driverscollection.com" then I already know this is not even a site I will visit.
If there is maybe something legitimate there and useful then surely it will show up in numerous other search results.
Just a guess, but I bet that most drivers out there(not so much linux) are proprietary packages. For other open source or freeware packages, then those packages will be readily available by their source vendors.
I think if a site is willing to bend or break any rules, then where do they draw the line on doing anything they want?
