I have this error too and I'm trying to bring up networking from command 
line interface as well.  One package I forgot to install which may be 
causing my error is crda and I'll also have to configure that package for 
in my case the United States.  It may be a missing crda package is doing 
this unless debian installer installs and/or correctly configures crda 
for users using wifi connections automatically.  Hope this helps.
