Connected but without TDE

Hello,

By installing something like Ubuntu 14.04 I can easily have a wifi
connection and even install some Trinity apps.  This is by using the
most recent repos (Raring, 13.04) as instructed in
www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/UbuntuBinaryInstallation.
 However, when the core TDE packages are selected (using Synaptic),
they appear as broken - missing several dependencies.

OTOH, if I try to use Ubuntu 13.04, with which I hope the Raring repos
are compatible, then I can't get a wifi connection - my machine
(Lenovo Thinkpad T440s) is too recent, and I have already gone thru
the hassle of installing firmware, drivers, etc. to no avail.  It's
the same problem with Exe Gnu/Linux or a live CD Image for Ubuntu with
Trinity preinstalled.

Any ideas?  For now I can use Windows or a distro without TDE.  Also I
think of selling the Thinkpad and using a less demanding (and
expensive) machine.
