Maybe ubuntu doesnt has the drivers of your card... so try to search for your card drivers for ubuntu...
You can get info from your card by typing dxdiag in Windows run command...

it is saying no wireless extension

Have you tried pressing the button that turns the wireless card on and off. Can be on the keyboard or a switch/button on the side somewhere.

the version of my laptop is dell inc model:inspiron 3537
