Hello, manas.
Try running
$/sbin/lspci
in a terminal and check if your wireless adapter appears in the list.
Then run
$/sbin/lsmod
and check if the module is installed. If it's not try the following:
The driver you have is a source code or a binary?
If you have a source code you'll have to compile and install the driver:
1. first unpack it (by running '$tar -xzvf filename-version.tar.gz' or '$tar -xjvf filename-version.tar.bz2'...)
2. then go into the directory, where you should find a binary configure script. run it with ./configure
3. run $make to compile and link everything
4. run $sudo make install to install the driver. (if you can open a root terminal, ignore the 'sudo' command)
In the source directory you should have a text file named README that may help you with the setup.
If any file is missing, you can install, in debian, a program named auto-apt (by running '$sudo apt-get install -y auto-apt' ). It solves and downloads dependencies automatically for you. Then run
'$auto-apt -r ./configure' and '$auto-apt -r make' instead.
If you have the binary files, find the kernel module (a file with the device name and .o or .ko extension) and run, as root
$/sbin/insmod filename.ko
or
$/sbin/insmod filename.o
then
$/sbin/lspci
$/sbin/lsmod
to check if it's installed and run a graphical tool (like wireless-assistant or system-config-network).
