hm i have the exact same model and wireless worked for me out of the box ..
not sure what the problem is:(
i had some problem with entering a WPA passphrase through the GUI and had to
edit /etc/network/interfaces myself and add the PSK key ... if this seems to
be the problem, i'll pastebin my interfaces file and also tell you how to
generate the PSK key .. but if the wireless is not working at all (i.e. cant
even connect to unencrypted networks), not sure what the problem is  - sorry
:(

atb,
Sanjay
