we need to see what chipset you have. Run these commands in terminal(applications -> accessories -> terminal):sudo lshw -sanitize -C network
ifconfig

Please copy and paste the results here.

Unplug all the wires from your laptop and if you still have internet, you have a wireless internet connection. I know that may sound like a joke response, but it's the truth.
