To find the adapter, run this command.
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lshw -c ne
If you're using Broadcom, here's a great resource that will show you how to install the drivers (I had to do this when I installed 15.04 last weekend)

I tried to install STA, B43 & B43-Legacy. None seemed to do the trick. My system never does shut down, I have to hold power button. Not sure if this is significant. Ideas? – art May 08 '15 at 01:43

That's interesting... that did the trick for me but my device is showing BCM4322. I did find an article elsewhere on this site that might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers – Terry P Johnson May 09 '15 at 02:33

Basically the gist of it is, that you'll need to uninstall the drivers in the one article, run some updates (to reflect the purge and to update the pcids), and then install package linux-firmware-nonfree. – Terry P Johnson May 09 '15 at 02:37
