Hi.

This may not even be a Debian issue but i dont know
where to start.

I have a ThinkPad T60 running Lenny. Its normally
plugged into an Ethernet port. I realized recently that only
the wired network is showing up
in my networking tools, even though the machine does
support WiFi.

I rebooted it and i still only have my Ethernet card
showing up. And when i look over the output of dmesg, theres
nothing at all there for my wireless
card, at least nothing i can see.

[etc.]

Is there a switch or button to turn the wireless card
on/off? Is it on?

Yes there is a switch, and its definitely on. I thought that might be it and switched it off and on and its on. At least, its in a clearly
physically different position than "off", it clicks into place.

I expected that even if switched off it would show up in dmesg though.
