i get the same problem with debian lenny sometimes, clive, so i use a combination of the following commands to get it up and running:
ip link set wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "routername"
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
if you can tell me a way of making it permanent (on boot up), i'd appreciate it.
regards
bryan

I had the wireless networking on my laptop working properly at last
Saturday's BaB.
For some time I have not been able to get it to work with my router at
home. Iwconfig shows all the correct values including the MAC address
for the router however if I try to ping the router the result is
"Destination Host Unreachable". I am using Ubuntu 8.04. It worked
perfectly in the past.
Running the laptop with Fedora 10 Live I can connect with no problem.
Why can't I ping the router? Googling as usual shows others with the
same fault but I have found no solution. Any pointers will be welcome.
