Now that I think of it, I am in the same situation right now (iwconfig shows
the wireless interface, but ifconfig does not shows it).
But for me this is just that I am not using it (I use manually a line like:
sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
followed by:
sudo dhclient wlan0
to connect myself to the Internet).
And my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=admin
ap_scan=2 // might be 0 or 1 for normal people, I need it to connect to
an hidden access point
network={
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
ssid="publicid"
scan_ssid=0
psk="secret_password"
}
That said, this file is supposed to be generated automatically by
network-manager.
I am a bit lost with the network-manager because I deactivate it (need to use
both 56k and wireless).
But as far as I know, there is still a bug that make wpa_supplicant not
automatically starting wpa_supplicant.

So, I think the situation you are facing is not a bug in the kernel...
and I suggest you convert your bug in a question (upper-right link on this
page above the word Milestone), where I expect you will get better support on
how to manage your situation. If then they think that there is really a bug,
feel free to reassign this as a bug on the appropriate package.
