hard to say without knowing what causes the problem, boot into textmode and check the error log of the xserver, check in /var/log/ for sth like xorg.log
post the log in our code-viewer http://code.suck-o.com and the link here...;)

what's the output of iwconfig?
most likely you simply have to set the ESSID and/or channel....and, if used, encryption.
:wink:

config seems to be ok, I guess you simply have not enabled the device:

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0 up
