OK ...

Card is recognized during bootup and appears to be initialized with the relevent wireless settings ... (orinoco_cs etc)

The wireless configuration ... "iwconfig eth0" ... gives the correct data
but "ifconfig" only mentions lo0
"ifconfig -a" shows it's there (as eth0) ... but with no IP address ...

If I eject the card, and re-insert it, then "ifconfig -a" shows a valid IP but indicates the connection is not UP ...

eth0 Link enap: Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
inet addr:192.168.3.55 BCast: 192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 ......
note the missing "UP" :-)

I can't seem to figure out how to get it to come UP ...

when I try "ifconfig eth0 up" I get:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error

from /var/log/messages: (edited to make up for the typing)
daemon.info pumpd: starting at...

daemon.info pumpd: configured interface eth0
daemon.err pumpd: failed to set default route: Network is unreachable.

the logs appear to indicate that the wireless is working (else how would it get the DHCP configuration?)

I have no idea where to go from here ... ANYONE got any suggestions?
