How to install a driver on Network controller: Intel Corporation WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150?

I use debian 8 and gnom. I can not install the drivers for the wifi. Please help, I'm not an experienced user, so please write everything in detail.

I use:

Cinnamon: 2.2.16

Core Linux: 3.16.0-4.amd64

Now all of the syslog about the wifi:
