Before you can setup wireless you must setup your system with an ethernet
cable in order for the system to "see" your hardware.
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.
