That cannot be, because wireless needs to be set up to figure
out which "wire" you want to connect to.

You can do that, as soon as you connect to an access-point.
Try:
iwlist wlan0 scan
to show what access-points are available
iwconfig wlan0 essid "NETWORK NAME"
to connect to an access-point called "NETWORK NAME"
and then you can do
dhclient wlan0
to get an IP address and probably a default route.
