You definitely need more precise information in order to make your wifi chip works, the lspci -v command should give all needed info, just locate the interesting part regarding the exact reference of the chip and post it here. You may update the pci ids database prior to running the above command with update-pciids as root.

The Nvidia graphic should work fine, don't forget to rerun the installer after any kernel update.

I'm really not a big fan of 3D desktop, but I know Beryl and Compiz have merged in "compiz-fusion", so this is the stuff you should be looking for. There's plenty of how-to's floating around about it, I believe this could be a good address to start with.

Regarding the "freeze" you are experiencing, you should look for any obvious warning in the boot log, use dmesg command to display it, and look in the system logs after it happens to see if anything clearly appears to be triggering the problem cat /var/log/messages could be instructive.

Many different things can trigger such problems, the more frequent are xorg configuration problems, use of flash in web browser, acpi related problems... You need to narrow down the suspects.
