Hi, I am new to linux myself, so my advice may not be accurate. But it seems you r searching for d wrong thing. .exe files are files for windows, not Linux. You must go to Sytems-> Administration-> Hardware testing. It will test all the hardware including your wireles , since ur wireless is not working most probably u r not getting internet connection. U must catch hold of a wired connection and run the above sequence , when it will show u d driver u can opt to install it from d internet. If that does not work , u can note it down and search from it in Synaptic.
