Are you using testing or unstable? This sounds as if it may be related to a similar problem I have and for which I started a thread here some days ago. I've been in touch with the maintainer for wireless-tools but there is no solution as yet. Briefly, there seems to be some package in unstable (and probably in testing) which breaks wireless connectivity for me. After a dist-upgrade I find that iwconfig shows the essid to be "tsunami". (No idea where that comes from.) I can reset it to the correct name manually and the card then appears to be connected but it does not in fact work. I have tried restarting ifupdown but it makes no difference. The only solution then is to reinstall everything. I have no idea which is the offending package but it is not wireless-tools or pcmcia-cs, since upgrading these does not break things. This bug, whatever it is, has caused me to reinstall the system on my laptop 4 times!
