There is likely to be a switch on the laptop that must be turned on.
In addition, it's possible that the wireless "card"--may not be an actual
card, but part of the mobo--may be obsolete for the version of
software you're running. That is, there may not be a driver for
a 6-year-old Broadcom, or whatever it is, in Windows 8.
The first you can check on and fix. I don't know about the second.
