Could you find out the model of wireless card which is really important for diagnosing. Run the lspci you may have to do that as root ( sudo lspci ) and that will pretty much just list all PCI devices. If you see your wireless card on that list it is a really good thing because it means the operating system knows the device is there and we can go from there. Either way I will need the model of your wireless card and we can go from there. Cheers.
