You got to stop saying this! It is annoying!
If you installed the default desktop environment (DE), which is GNOME it
would be as easy. However you insist on doing it the command line way.
So suck it up and read:
Did you already read https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi?
At the bottom of that is a link: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse
Read that too! It explains the network managers and how you can configure
wlan in /etc/network/interfaces too.
Read it!
And finally the best advice:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Read the whole thing!
And at the end if you read all this, still have a few questions or your
wifi still is not operable or if you are intersted to configure your wifi
via systemd (which is not yet covered in the official Debian manuals) come
back and ask.
