I've been doing some work over here and discovered a few things.
dmesg|grep -in wlan returned wlan0 as a broadcom device so I installed
broadcom-sta-common with recommended packages I'm not sure if connecting
the wifi adapter helped or not but will find out shortly. The tower
without the adapter has no wlan mentions in dmesg whe searched. I'll
check it with the antenna later and see if that helps.On Fri, 11 Sep 2015,

I have a command line installation of debian on a laptop that's supposed to
have the hardware to do wifi. Right now, I don't yet know what additional
software to install so this computer can talk to the wifi network and log
on. archlinux has madwifi and a large section on wifi installation on its
installguide file but that's not in the debian repository so for now I have
no clue. I do have a wifi adapter antenna I will have to use with a tower
system but don't know if this wil also be needed to run the laptop.
Here are a few you could try: (from dpkg -l | grep firmware)
firmware-iwlwifi 0.43 all Binary firmware for Intel Wireless cards
firmware-linux-free 3.3 all Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel
firmware-linux-nonfree 0.43 all Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel
firmware-realtek 0.43 all Binary firmware for Realtek wired and wireless network adapters
