Hi,
I have a dell 5100 with a dell 1150 wireless card. The card worked under Mandrake, but I cannot get it to work with Debian testing (2.6.7-2 kernel). Iwconfig produces:
eth2 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"Admin-Wireless" Nickname:"HERMES I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.457GHz Access Point: 44:44:44:44:44:44

Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
wavemon shows the card, but i am not connected. I have checked the password and ESSID with the lan admin and they are correct. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this are appreciated. I do not think I need to recompile the kernel because I can see the card.
It appears that the card is up and running, but you just need to get IP configured. If you know DHCP is available on the WLAN, try requesting an IP address using "dhclient eth2". If this works, then all you need to do is add "eth2" to your /etc/network/interfaces file so next time eth2 comes up, the ifupdown script will automaticallly run the dhcp client on that interface.

I have tried ifconfig and dhcclient with no luck. They seem to not see the network.

Jeff,
Looks like the card is not connecting to the access point. Have you been successful conecting to ANY access point? If you are in Davis, you can head to just about any coffee shop and try:
iwconfig eth2 essid any <-- Or find out the network name, and capitalization matters. iwconfig eth2 key off dhclient eth2
And things should just "work"
