You need to let us know what kind of wlan card you have.  If you are
lucky the FC2 will already have support for it.  If not you will have to
identify the chip set on the card, find a project that has written
drivers for that chip set, download the drivers, install them per the
instructions for those drivers.

Unfortunately wireless support is far from seamless or easy at this
point.
