1This is the wrong way of installing a wifi driver. The right way would be to provide more relevant info, for example, the output of `lsusb`, assuming it is a USB adapter. – mikewhatever Feb 12 '16 at 06:31

1You're not supposed [to install drivers with Wine](https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Can_I_use_Wine_to_install_drivers_for_my_hardware.3F). – Hi-Angel Feb 12 '16 at 07:52

Most likely your Wifi is working OK.
Linux is supossed to have Wifi drivers by default. Some of them are restricted by licence and you have to install them manually - see How do I install additional drivers?
If you still don't see wifi - try to use newest Ubuntu version - 15.10
