Problem fixed, I managed to make my wifi work doing this :

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/10/18/backports-20131018.tar.gz 

tar xvfz backports-20131018.tar.gz

cd backports-20131018

make defconfig-wifi

make

sudo make install

found the solution there thanks for answering.
