At the moment you have to do radically different things depending on the
exact wireless chipset you are blessed/cursed with.  So finding that out
is your first move.

Use

lspci

to find out all your PCI-based devices, if it is not listed there it
might be visible via

lsusb

if it is connected by USB.
