Try download Driver from manufacturers website for this product

64bit INF file (athwbx.inf) from Atheros driver version 10.0.0.260 for Windows 8.1

what model is your desktop ?  did you download the driver for that model from the lenovo site? and for the proper OS?
Model: H520 - 57317327


worked fine before windows 8.1 update ,
ok post the ven and dev values :
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information.
Now select  "Components" and highlight "Problem Devices".
All hardware devices with a driver problem will be listed here.
Make a note of the first line of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will show a Vendor number and a Device number (VENxxxxDEVxxxx) both four digits long

then i can tell you which one you need from
