Install a firmware for your wifi perhaps? If you have Intel, this could be the package required: firmware-iwlwifi Unfortunately this may mean manually downloading the .deb file, transferring it via sneakernet (or saving to a known hdd location) and using a command like: dpkg --install firmware-iwlwifi....deb Good luck,
