On the aptitude errors - try using "Install/Remove Software" from the menu instead of the terminal. It looks as though apt was already running when you attempted the installation.
On the lspci output - yes, the kernel is still not "seeing" your wifi card. That's what rfkill is designed to help with. If you can get rfkill installed and run the "list" command (see my previous post) that may help us diagnose the problem. I'm thinking that this is going to wind up being a firmware problem. So if you want to attempt something in between posts open your menu and search for "drivers." Launch the "install third-party drivers" app and see if it finds anything related to wireless cards.
Thanks (and thanks for hanging in!)
