My wireless network interface is present:
$ iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point:
Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0

However, I don't find the D-Link 614+:
$ iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results
And of course, dhclient fails to find a server.
a) Scanning may not work if the interface is administratively
'down'.
Try 'ifconfig wlan0 up' and then scanning.
Tried and failed: no scan results. (I made sure wlan0 was
up before, too.)
b) What happens if you just go ahead and set the essid manually:
'iwconfig wlan0 essid your-essid' and then 'iwconfig wlan0' to see
if
it associates?
Tried, but it does not associate.
I also tried setting the channel number. No change, and iwconfig
doesn't
show the setting.
I also looked in the BIOS for a wireless enable/disable
setting, but no such menu item is present.
Thanks for your suggestions.
