[clue-tech] For Installfest Laptop does not go wireless

[YES NOPE9]

Dell Inspiron 5100   with Debian squeeze

I attached a TENDA W311U USB wireless adapter once I felt I had determined there was no built-in wireless.

when I ran 'ipconfig' I got :

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00  
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

when I ran 'lsus' I got :

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

I am unable to see my wireless router.
