I am following this guide to just test hacking Wifi, I have read in the manual of airmon-ng that entering the command airmon-ng will return interface status, under the chipset field it said "unknown". So I wanted to know if I have a Wifi driver installed or not, knowing that I have a perfectly fine Wifi connection.

You said you have a perfectly working Wifi connection, which means you have WiFi driver installed. Because, without a driver, you couldn't have a working connection.

As for the airmon-ng command, if the field under Chipset column is unknown, it means the program has no knowledge about the model/vendor of this chipset. It isn't an indicator of driver status. Driver name is under the column Driver. Here is the output I got running in my local PC

$  sudo airmon-ng
Interface       Chipset         Driver
wlp4s0          Intel 4965AGN   iwl4965 - [phy0]

Now I have read the answer of Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers and it appears that the driver is installed according to the table provided.

sudo airmon-ng

Running this may show what you want.

If you want all the drivers installed in your system then you must type in your terminal: 

sudo lsmod
