No wifi network on Ubuntu. But working well on Windows on same laptop

Question

I am new to Ubuntu and recently switch on it. My wired internet works well. But I do not see any wifi network shown. I have gone to see on additional drivers to check if I am missing wireless driver but it doesn't show anything. Would installing new copy of Ubuntu help ?

edit here is the detail when i performed the following command: sudo lshw -C network

*-network

Installing ubuntu again would not help but do you know what the chipset the wireless card is, this would be extremely helpful to know. — ianorlin, Dec 31 '16 at 03:58
