It sounds like what you have read may be a little dated. The wpasupplicant should already be found in the following locations by default on Debian:

/etc/network/if-pre-up/etc/networkd/wpasupplicant
/etc/network/if-down/etc/networkd/wpasupplicant
/etc/network/if-post-down/etc/networkd/wpasupplicant
/etc/network/if-up/etc/networkd/wpasupplicant

If you're a beginner this may be easier to set up with a GUI like network-manager-gnome or network-manage-kde, depending on your desktop.

You may want to ensure this connection works without encryption turned on first. If this fails you would want to ensure vmware is detecting the card and determine if this is a vmware problem or a Linux problem.

If you are getting a connection with another interface like eth0 you may want to turn it off first, then bring up wlan0 or whatever interface it comes up on and run dhclient like so:

Code:
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# dhclient

Hopefully that will get you started.
