Everybody starts somewhere.

Pretty good choice.

Let's find out which Intel wireless card you have. With the
installer running, choose "start local shell".
Then type
lspci
and look for lines with Network in them. They should start with
a number like 03.00 or something like that.
Tell us the output from
lspci -vv ####
where #### is the number from the Network line.
