Cannot detect wireless driver [duplicate]

by

I just installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 on my Acer Inspire M laptop but it could not detect the wireless card. I found my earlier post:

Cannot locate wireless networks on Acer Aspire M5 laptop

but it did not completely help me here.

Upon trying:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I get:

dkms depends on gcc; however: Package gcc is not installed. dkms depends on make | build-essential _ dpkg-dev; however Package make ... is not installed.

The results of 

sudo lshw -class network

are:
