And it has no ESSID set, so it's clearly not connected to the access point.

I think the edgy network tools are a bit broken for wireless stuff, but
I use network-manager anyway, which makes connecting to WEP/WPA pretty
easy, but is completely separate from the main networking config tools.
Might be worth trying to see if it's a config or driver problem.

Is there anything in /var/log/syslog that looks relevant?

On the upside, in Feisty they are joined together :)

Cheers,
