By the way, I remember the laptop was equiped with Win 7.

Win 7 or 8 is installed on most x86 computers because they wound n't be sold without an OS.

Wheezy was successfully installed in Virtualbox with official netinstaller.
Now Win 7 is completely removed and it is surposed to install a pure
Linux system.
I do not know why the installer is not able to detect any network hardwares.

I guess that the wheezy kernel does n't support the latest versions of the atheros hardware because it is too old. You can download atheros drivers from:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/Atheros

The current jessie kernel version is 3.14-2-amd64.

Do these two installation have any differences?
