What happens when you run iwlist scan ?

Yes, I have one idea, if you get nothing from the above:  I spent a good 2 -
4 weeks wondering why my wireless "broke" only to find out that laptops
today have some kind of switch to turn off the wireless device.  They're
usually labeled non-intuitively and in my case, it was a spring-loaded
switch that can get flipped really easily.
