It has a wireless connection switch on the right-side but it's only a blanking plate.
There is a space for a PC Card isn't that where I put the card for wireless connection?

You can check here:

If you have a PC card slot, then you should be able to plug in a wireless card if your laptop either has the onboard wireless disabled or broken.
