Do you have an entry in your /etc/network/interfaces for your wireless
card?

   iface wlan0 inet dhcp
   allow-hotpulg wlan0
   auto wlan0

After you do that type

   ifup wlan0

to bring up the network interface.

Of course, replace 'wlan0' with whatever your wireless card is called.

I'm pretty sure I had to manually add the entry when I configured my
wireless card.  I hope this helps.
