(already detected and loaded by the kernel).
Now try 'iwlist scan' (again, as root). If the card works physically you
should see a list of nearby access points. That means there is a strong
chance of being able to get it to work, you just have to configure it
correctly :-)
Also, make sure the radio is physically turned on! On some laptops (e.g.
Toshibas) there's a small switch to turn it on and off.

Hi,
I did the "iwlist scan" and I noticed it did scans for: lo, eth1, wifi0, eth0, irda0, and pan0. My wireless device, according to Network Configuration is eth0. I find that weird; in prior distros wireless devices where labeled wlan0, wlan1, etc.
The scan did pick up something for wifi0 and eth0. Does that mean that they are conflicting in some way? Overall; it looks like NetworkManager isn't playing nice with my wireless card and I'll have to do manual scans and configuring in order to get it to work?
