This same thing happened to me when I got my hands on a WPC55AG card and

What were you specifically using for WiFi hardware and drivers?
Thanks for help!...
***The problem started when I upgraded from Debian Sarge to Debian Etch.***
I got a IBM ThinkPad laptop with a Prism chipset card inside...
% lspci | grep Prism
02:02.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev

It uses good ol' Orinoco wifi driver....

orinoco 36148 1 orinoco_pci

Does it work with a fixed IP address?
Have you tried manually starting the DHCP client and client-daemon and
watched for any error messages, and looked in the logs?
If you look with tcpdump from the laptop or another machine on the
subnet, can you see the laptop generating any arp or DHCP traffic?
I've never used it, but it might help to download airsnort to your
windows laptop to monitor traffic.
