For wireless cards that do not work out of the box, you will need to identify the wireless chipset used. You can do this by running "lspci" in a terminal, and looking for names such as "Broadcom, Realtek, Atmel, etc... Afterwards, you can install a third-party module by connecting via Ethernet and running

sudo apt-get install [package name]

The package you will want to install depends on the chipset.

Atmel - atmel-firmware

Broadcom - bcm43xx-fwcutter
