I just changed my OS from windows to ubuntu 16.10 and the problem is since then my wireless doesn't work at all, I can't see any WİFİ conection so I have to plug the ethernet cable to get connection.I don't know where is the problem since it was working well in windows. But I checked the network hardware by this comand lshw -C network
and here is the output
