lsmod

mac80211              269003  2 iwl3945,iwlcore
cfg80211              167809  3 iwl3945,iwlcore,mac80211

This does have the hardware switch.

I resolved the problem by installing backports and Wicd. Interesing. They must have phased out the support for the Intel WIFI I have.

Now to get the cell working.....

OK, that is weird since I have not had problems with the Intel wifi
for years now.  Does your Latitude have a hardware switch that turns
off your wifi?  I know my current Latitude E6400 does as does the D830
I had before.

What modules are loaded?  "lsmod |grep 80211", is there an interface?
"sudo iwconfig"

For me the Intel wifi devices have just worked.

Hi!

I'm a pretty smart guy, but I can't seem to get wireless working on my
Dell Latitude D630.  Anyone have an idea to try or a HowTo to point me to.
  (yeah, I'm THAT old-school.)

Many thanks!
Matt
is it a broadcom chip?
check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
AFAIK theres a bug that keeps the additional drivers dialog from popping up,
but you should be able to determine from that link if its applicable to your
hardware, and how to deal with the issue if it is... also, if you have some
live CD's such as ubuntu 10.04 laying around, see if you can get it working
in there easily, and note what driver the device uses, and that should help
you with whatever version you are struggling with now.
