You didn't post the information I asked for, so it's difficult to help more specifically.
In general, assuming you're running Debian Stable, to get what is probably the correct driver (for RTL819x series cards), you need to upgrade your kernel. Directions to do so are in the link. You need to add Debian backports to your sources.list, update, and install the new kernel.
