Thanks! That got me somewhere- dmesg has no errors and iwconfig looks like:
$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"goulahnet"
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
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Is this warning a problem? Does this mean I need to get a newer
iwconfig (I'm on debian etch, Wireless-Tools version 28)
Also, is this driver known to work with wpa_supplicant?
Thank you,
John
