Network unclaimed on Ubuntu
Ubuntu is not able to detect Wi-Fi and also the network is unclaimed.
I don't have Ethernet cable nor any dongle is there any way I can fix it without any internet connection on my laptop.

Kernel version:

You installed Ubuntu 16.04 with the original 4.4 kernel that doesn't support your new wireless adapter.
If you downloaded and installed the 16.04.4 image, it would work without any additional effort.
For now the easiest solution is to upgrade the kernel. Connect to the internet by some other means (wire, tethering, etc) and run in a terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 linux-firmware
Reboot after the kernel packages are installed. Your wireless adapter should work.
