i tried following the instructions in the other post ... but when i do "iwconfig wlan0" i get "wlan0 No such device" ... how do i get wlan0 to be seen as a device? Is this evidence that the driver is not working? Also, if i do wlcardconfig i get no wireless network card found ... in case that helps

iwconfig wlan0 with nothing behind it is a query...not a setting entry...
Remember you must be root or sudo su when trying a major systemwide change such as this

try another way ... # iwconfig wlan0 essid "Your Network" key 0123456789

i have the same card and it will work on dsl, however there is another issue-acpi. acpi must be disabled or it will screw up your connections.
i'm surprised that this issue has not been addressed at dsl.
