When starting the system, it's recommended to bring the network
devices/interfaces up (these are the things that make your computer
connect to the Internet, get updates and download upgrades).

I know how to do so when using wired networks, but I don't know how to
do so with wireless networks.

With wired networks, do:

Note: Remove "$ " from the beginning.

$ sudo ifconfig -a

And from the list, try to find the wired network device. It's name is
usually "eth[And some number]" or "p[Some number]p[Other number]".

Now, do:

$ sudo ifconfig "[The wired network device name]" "up"

Now, the network interface is up, but we still have to tell the system
to talk to the part of the network responsible for giving you a local
address inside the network, so that you can really start using it. So,
do:

$ dhclient -v "[The wired network device name]"

And now you're ready to use the Internet.
