It appears you need a kernel >= 3.10 for that chip to work:

No WiFi - Lenova IdealCentre Q190 Model 57312246

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I just purchased a Lenova IdealCentre Q190 Model 57312246, which comes
with Windows 8 installed.
Using Windows 8, the computer's built-in Wi-Fi card works fine, but
after installing Ubuntu 13.04 (and fully updating), I'm unable to
detect this wifi card in any manner I've tried.
The Lenova website simply says that this PC came with at "Broadcom 11b/g/n
Wi-Fi wireless":
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/ideacentre/q-series/q190/index.html
So far, I haven't been able to detect the exact model of the wi-fi
card; I've tried a few hardware detection commands after installing
Ubuntu, but none of them seem to be able to detect that the wi-fi
adapter is even there:

I've also tried lsusb -v. That one is kind of long, so I'll attach it
instead of pasting it here.
By the way, in order to submit this bug report, I had to use a
external USB wi-fi adapter. I hope this doesn't cause any confusion in
any of the attached logs; I did try to generate the attachments with
this adapter unplugged, and then I plugged it in so I could post to
launchpad.
