Basically you need to edit two lines in the file /etc/pcmica/network.opts Go to end of the file to the lines which start with : "start_fn" and "stop_fn" replace the word "return" with "ifup $1;" and "ifdown $1;" as appropriate and then the networking with the wireless card will be brought up automatically. I went through the same issues with SID and you need to take care to watch what an upgrade will do. Generally it manages to be a useful desktop system with up to date stuff. right now I am trying to sort out why my laptop will no longer powers down automatically at shutdown and the battery monitor no longer works after a recent upgrade. so you are not alone.
