Here's what I did:
(-Compiled my own 2.6.24-4 instead of using debian kernel.)
-Booted XPee and hoped that all the clicking enabled the WLAN device. It
seem to be a software button, like a touch panel.
-Entered BIOS, disabled switching wlan button to hopefully keep the
state constant(ON).
And finally I did configure my WEP, and requested IP and now I'm online ;)
thx guys! /Bachman

Not that easy.
When the module is loaded I press the (touch) panel where the wireless
icon is. This still doesn't turn on the WLAN LED.
Nothing in dmesg then I press the touchbutton.
