Sony Vaio Vpceh38fg after clean install WiFi adapte not being detected

Hello!
I have just clean installed my Vaio after installing Ubuntu on it. But now the WiFi adapter is not being detected and I really need it to work!
I have tried looking for the driver on the internet and spent many hours trying to get it to work
If you are wondering when I look for the hardware Id it come up with these:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_E037105B&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_E037105B
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&CC_0280

did it install or give any errors?

EDIT:their are other here that you could try. https://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wirel...et=81&system=5

It did install but it the network thingy on the notification bar didn't turn up

is their a key to turn on and off the wireless on one of the F keys? can you take a screen shot of device manager and post it here.

After I downloaded this link https://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wirel...et=81&system=5 It comes up as a .zip and I extracted it and now I don't know what to do with it
