Can you please send the output of lspci and lsmod? So we can see if the
hardware is their and driver is loaded.
I read the pc's technical paper and its wireless device should be Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200BG, whose driver, according to
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi,

aptitude.
I also installed firmware-realtek as suggested by Sven. I also
turned on, as
suggested by Lisi, the small switch on the laptop, with `Wireless'
written on
it. Now, as suggested by Nick,
