Can anyone help my Debian find my wireless card?
 
Hey, I'm pretty new to this whole thing so please bare with me:) Been using Ubuntu for a while, but wanted a little change so I installed the latest Etch.

It didn't seem to find my wireless card:

# lspci | grep Network
01:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)

ifconfig shows only lo and eth1 which is my wired network card which works fine.

What can be wrong? How would I go about fixing this?

Please some assistance..

Edit: Might be worth mentioning that this card worked out-of-the-box on ubuntu dapper/edgy/feisty. And that now iwconfig gives me:
eth1 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.

I've tried putting:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

in /etc/networking/interfaces and restarting network. Didn't work. I also tried "iwconfig eth0 essid My_Essid" but that gives me "Operation not supported". Seems like it thinks my wireless card is some kinda wired card. Can anyone please help me figure this out?

Double posting is juvenile and unhelpful.
