Install a firmware for your wifi perhaps? If you have Intel, this
could be the package required:
firmware-iwlwifi
Unfortunately this may mean manually downloading the .deb file,
transferring it via sneakernet (or saving to a known hdd location)
and using a command like:
dpkg --install firmware-iwlwifi....deb
Good luck,
