I type iwconfig, but wlan0 is not showing up, which means that I cant make use of the wifi connection. Is there any way to solve this? I searched on the internet, tried everything.

########## wireless info END ############
I will be really gratefull if someone would know the solution. Laptop without wifi is terrible :(
My laptop is a msi gs60. I heard that there were some wifi problems on ubuntu with these laptops. I visited every page on www but nothing solved my problem
I also searched for additional drivers from software & updates. But there are no additional drivers available.
