Afterwards it will be easy to setup wireless.

Uh, no, a wired connection is NOT a prerequisite to getting wireless working.

In order to help the OP, what we need is a description of the wireless card, in particular the chipset. So if you could post the output of lspci, we can point you in the right direction.
