I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 alongside windows 8 on my Vaio laptop. Wifi is working on windows normally but it's not working on Ubuntu though I can connect to internet through ethernet.There is nothing shown in additional drivers. And iwconfig shows the following data

eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=16 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

lspci -vnn | grep Network showed:

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0032] (rev 01)

I read somewhere that after connecting through ethernet Ubuntu automatically looks for required wireless drivers but nothing such thing has happened.

My laptop specification is at: http://www.amazon.in/Sony-Series-SVE1513ACNB-15-5-inch-Laptop/dp/B00D16KEFQ

Your Ethernet advice is correct, but for it to apply you also need to open your update manager and be sure to click CHECK before clicking "install updates".
