[ltp] Ubuntu -> No wireless

Hello everyone!

I recently installed Ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad T41, and it installed
fine everything (Wireless, ATI Radeon M7 acceleration...). Yesterday I
write in /etc/apt/sources.list the Debian repositories and made a
dist-upgrade. There was 400 MB to download. While configuring, there was
a dependences error (now I have heard that Ubuntu repositories and
Debian repositories don't much very well together). Trying to resolve
tha problem, removing this package, installig that one... I got a clean
dist-upgrade at the end, but with no Wireless. 

The Wireless lights don't work, so the correct module is not working. I
don't know what can be happened...

An "lsmod" returns (between all the entries):
ipw2100                90596  0
firmware_class          9728  1 ipw2100
ieee80211              21124  1 ipw2100
ieee80211_crypt         5704  1 ieee80211
e1000                  75268  0

If I am not wrong, the module is charged and working ok, but I have no
Wireless!

At the boot time, Ubuntu write something about ipw2100 that I can't read
because it goes fast.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
