You are going to have to be a bit more explicit about the problem you are seeing. You don't even say what problem you have. We are left to infer something is wrong with your WiFi. Share a bit more, and maybe someone here can help. What are you trying to do, exactly? What, exactly, is happening when you try? What have you tried so far to solve the problem? Some more questions to get you started: Are you having a problem connecting to a WiFi network? Does your computer recognise your WiFi hardware? Does your computer recognise a WiFi link (which may be DOWN and therefore not working if you are having trouble connecting to a WiFi Access Point)? What desktop are you using? (eg Gnome, KDE, etc -- which desktop you are using affects how you will see available WiFi networks) For that matter what version of Debian? If basic WiFi support is working, does your computer recognise WiFi access points that are in range? If yes, what happens when you try to connect to one? Jumping ahead, if you just can't get the computer to recognise it has WiFi, and you are certain the computer actually has WiFi, it is probably a driver or a firmware problem. That will take us down one road. On the other hand if you have a link but it is not connecting to any WiFi network, we will need more info about what you are trying and what is happening to help.
