My machine is a Thinkpad X61s, on which I'm running sidux. 

I am able to see an AP, I assume: 

	# iwlist scan
	...
	Cell 02 - Address: 00:18:3F:1B:32:E1
		  ESSID: "2WIRE744"
		  Mode: Master
		  Channel: 6
		  Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
		  Quality=100/100 Signal level=-54 dBm Noise level=-94dBm
		  Encryption key: on
		  Bit rates:1 Mb/s ... 54 Mb/s
		  Extra:tsf=000000786a67d48

The encryption key may be causing me a problem, but otherwise assume this
looks good.

But no connection to the router:

	# iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE744"
	[nothing returned]

	# iwconfig
	...
	wmaster no wireless extensions
	wlan0	IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"2WIRE744"
	...
	Encryption key::3ADA...4F
	Link Quality=97/100 ...
	Rx invalid nwid:0
	...
