Hello,
any help is much appreciated.  Wireless card has worked fine for months
on a Dell Mini 10v.  After updates last night, Squeeze doesn't
recognize the card.  I removed/purged b43-fwcutter and wicd, and
reinstalled both.  Nothing.  I pasted some output below, can anyone
help?

Thank you!!

Correction, it previously was eth1 not wlan0.  I assume a configuration file somewhere is messed up but haven't a clue how to fix it and google was no help.  :(
