Thanks a lot for your help guys!

It's kind of understandable that I'm having this problem, because my laptop was bought this year and this release is from 2 years ago. I guess I will install Jessie right away, to avoid this kind of problems in the future.

Jessie will solve the problem--that would be simpler if you have no net access. If you have a wired connection, it would not take more than a few terminal commands to get the upstream "backports" (not to be confused with wheezy-backports) drivers compiled and installed.

I just installed Jessie, installed the firmware-iwlwifi package, and it's working!

I know it would be easy to fix this in Wheezy, but I had it installed just for a day, and after some search (knowing that I can install steam easily in Jessie, for example :D ), I guess this is the right version for me right now.

Thank you again
