hi,
recently I have installed debian 8 on my (very) old laptop - thinkpad
x41 (IBM yet! :)) - in fact i'm using it right now writing this email
and being connected to wifi network.
of course the hw may be different, my card:
04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
What it means that you "can't get the radio to turn on"?
