I think the answer is 42

Please provide information what you exactly did, what did you expect and what were the results? Are the drivers loaded? Are there errors in the journal? How did you try to connect to a wifi?

No one can read for you. Consider using the Help/Documentation, the Project Website on gnome.org or the manpage `man NetworkManager`

You need to ask for details and provide them while asking. No one sits next to you.
Did you read the gnome-link? What exactly do you not understand?

So is the wifi applet in the system tray showing any wifi access points? Are you sure that the adapter is working?

It would help to know what wifi card you have, etc. Perhaps it needs a non-free or third party driver, a number of them do.

Something likje this can help:
