I think that is an unrelated bug. Now we have to check what was written
into your Xorg configuration file. Please run the following command
awk '/Section "(Device|Monitor|Screen)"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and post its output. Also restart X and post the output of
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(This will print all errors and warning messages.)

Uh-oh, this is somewhat cryptic; it might indicate very new hardware
which is not (yet) well supported. I think the best thing is to run
lspci -n
and copy/paste the output into the form box on this web page:
http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
It will give you more details about your hardware and will tell you
which driver can be used (if this is known). Post the information
related to your wireless adapter here and then we will see what can be
done. (I suspect it is an IPW 3945 which will require some compiling on
your part, since the driver is not included in Debian.)
