Do "tail -f /var/log/messages", then insert the wireless card and see what
output you get. If you want to post the relevant data here, we might could
help you decipher it.

Hmm... I don't have qualms about writing small scripts to be run as root that
bring up my network card with settings for whatever network I'm plugged into:

#!/bin/bash
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Plugging into a new network? No biggie, just copy that script and change the
numbers, and you're good to go.
