a quick (and insufficient) reply:

you have to find out the kind of wifi card you've got installed, lspci 
is your friend here.

make sure to install the appropriate firmware, do a

apt-cache search firmware |grep wi

to see what you have available. you may have to go out and download 
something.

I had to go to broadcom to get my thinkpad x131e.

I also find the ceni networking tool is very helpful.

others can chime in but this may get you started. I'm in a hurry and 
hoped this would help since I figure you're in a hurry to get your 
wifi.

I wonder if you have a broadcom? you can look it up online too of 
course.

I have a simple philosophy:

 	Fill what's empty.
 	Empty what's full.
 	Scratch where it itches.
