It seems as though I am able to install the modules via module-assistant
and I receive an eth1 with wireless properties. The problem is that no
matter what I set my AP to I can't connect to it. I typically just run
with WEP but regardless or whether or not I am using WEP/WPA/Nothing I
can not connect to the AP with this card. Any ideas or help is much
appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure the firmware-ipw3945 and ipw3945d packages are installed as well. If you use GNOME then install network-manager-gnome. This is the easiest way to connect and should work. There is a document on the Ubuntu wiki (!) that works in Debian as well:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
I would use WPA if I were you, WEP is broken and easily cracked. Hope this helps,
Ananda
