Debian considers wifi to be just another network card.

However, many wifi cards require a special proprietary program, called
firmware. These do not fit the Debian ideals, so they come separately.
If your wifi card requires proprietary firmware, you may have to copy
that onto your Debian computer manually.

Let us know what kind of wifi card you have. As root, run

lspci

Copy and paste the results into an email. Then we can help you further.

Ignore this.
