I'm in the same boat except on Debian Mate ... I'm on the wired internet NOW, but can't find the WiFi device at all anywhere. I just posted in "How to connect with wifi" thread in Debian section. For "sudo iwconfig" I get "no wireless extensions." for eth0, sit0, and lo ... there is no wireless device listed ???
Hopefully somebody can bail us out! Sincere Thanks for any and all comments, suggestions, and assistance.
Blessings in abundance, all the best, & ENJOY!

I had issues with the wifi at first. Im on Debian 8 Jessie. However I was able to view networks and connect with them but couldn't use their service. What you do is install gedit. when you get that you should be able to open the read only file interfaces located at /etc/network when you get there comment out the line auto eth0. Save it and restart your pine. This will allow for it to use wifi as a primary source of wifi. It disables ethernet entirely. However if you do not wish to use wifi all the time then just type ifdown eth0 every time you log into your pine. It will bring it down but not disable it entirely. I am not sure if this might help with you actually viewing networks but it will definitely help you use them.
