Airport wireless and current Debian

Hi,

I just upgraded everything.
I noticed that I cannot connect to my home wifi anymore, which is a pretty simple WEP encrypted network, which always used to work.
I noticed that the Airport card is detected as a device and that I can configure it with iwconfig to the correct ESSID and KEY: 

eth0      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"xxx"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Access Point: None
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   Sensitivity:1/0
          Retry short  long limit:8   RTS thr=2347 B   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:xxxxxx   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=0/70  Signal level=-122 dBm  Noise level=-122 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
however, if I run dhclient... it just sits there for a long while, then drops without configuring anything.

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

During the upgrade, I lost the firmware, I reinstalled it.

I see nothing strange in dmesg... where else could I look? or do we have a new bug?
