So you have a machine with a wireless NIC that doesn't connect...

Please provide more info:
Output of lspci
Output of dmesg 
What chipset NIC is it?
Output of iwconfig and ifconfig
And talk to the network people and ask for the WPA key and details.  Its
unlikely to be just WEP.

BTW WPA also requires wpasupplicant to be running, to handle the background
key changes.

        I set up the work one today, which was just as trivial to do up to
one 
point. The network is wireless and, while the card is recognised, I 
can't access anything on the lan, I can't ping anything local or remote 
either. I have the WEP(?) Key entered and DHCP selected but nothing is 
happening. Google's not giving me much, apart from disabling eth0 - 
which I'll try tomorrow.
