I have an issue with wifi on my Lenovo yoga 500 15 ibd laptop. It comes with Broadcom driver, for which i can't find any suitable driver. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.q LTS.
after command lspci -nn -d 14e4:

I get:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:43ae] (rev 02)

Is there a driver for this card? Or is there any way to fix this?

Your Broadcom card is not yet supported; there is no Linux driver
for it at this time. This thread, also a Lenovo, solved the problem by replacing the card: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2296434
See page #3.

I suggest that you purchase a USB wifi device. I am sorry there isn't a better answer.
