Is the interface itself up (/sbin/ifconfig) ? If not try to bring it up without dhcp with iwconfig eth1 (or whatever) essid any ENC off mode Managed
What does 'iwlist [wireless interface] scan' tell you about the access points the laptop can see ? If you get something about "no such interface", see if the wireless interface is powered up. Look in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ip2100/rf_kill - 0 is rf power on, 1 is rf power off.
