Wifi disappeared

Question

I have an installation of Elementary OS working. Now my wifi conncection disapeared, and I do not have cable connection. I tried to pair my iphone to get and internet conection, but without success. I tried bluetooh pair, but nothing. I tried to use recovery mode, nothing (it asks for internet reposistories). I tried to mount the iso installation of Elementary OS as a repository, but have got errors.

I've got the wifi card information as

usb@1:5 802.11 Realtek wlam adapter

In my opinion, Elementary OS is missing an improvement. It's an internet based system, it cannot stay without internet.

For an extra information, it's a dual boot system. Internet works perfectly in windows!
