Those drivers are for Windows. While sometimes it is possible to run Windows programs on Ubuntu with Wine, you cannot run drivers that way, and only a very narrow subset of Windows drivers can be run on Ubuntu (with something called ndiswrapper).

You need to instead install Linux drivers for your hardware. But since it is sometimes connected, you already have some drivers installed for it.

I recommend that you mark this question as Solved and post a new question about how to fix the problem with your wireless adapter. Alternatively, you could reopen this question and hope for someone with an answer, but the issue of installing the Windows drivers will probably distract from it (which is why a new question will be better, I think).

You can start a new question and have it automatically classified so that people knowledgeable about the area will see it by using this link: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+addquestion
