First try "ethtool -i <name-of-device>" to see what driver is loaded
(if any). If you get data back then try "iwlist wlan0 scan" (replace
"wlan0" with your device) to see what access points are in the area.

If all that works, then the wireless itself is working under Linux and
there's something odd about the way NetworkManager (NM) and your device
talk to each other. At that point you could try to disable NM and use
the wpa_supplicant programs directly to try to get it up (such as
running wpa_supplicant in the background and using something like
wpa_supplicant_gui to manipulate it). If you're successful there, then
try to get NM to talk nice or bugzilla it to the NM list.
