No wireless on my Dell Inspiron 1545 Ubuntu

No wireless on my Dell Inspiron 1545 Ubuntu

I had installed Ubuntu 12.10 a few months back but never really used wireless device. I did use wireless before that when I had windows installed on my Dell, but then I switched to Ubuntu and the option for Wireless never worked. I used to work with LAN network till now and that worked just fine, but now since I have relocated, I have dongle for my internet but now I want to share this over a wireless network which I am unable to figure out.
Here's a couple of things that may help regarding this :
The snapshot  shows no wireless option here.
Also the result of lshw -class network
