Help with Dell 1150 wireless card in Dell 5100

[Chris Kacoroski <kacoroski@comcast.net>]

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
          Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3
          Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:XXXXXXXXXXXX
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=0/92  Signal level=134/153  Noise level=134/153
          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.

cheers,

ski
