can't connect to wireless AP


I have a qwest DSL Modem w/ built in 802.11b and D-link DWL-G630 AirPlus 802.11g card. I have the modem configured and broadcasting and the drivers successfully installed using ndiswrapper, but when I use the command "iwlist wlan0 scan" I get "no scan results"

I tried using the command "iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxx" even though I have ssid broadcasting on, but I still get the same result. I think the radio might be off but I cant figure out how to turn it on if it is. The 2 lights- act and link- blink back and forth alternately.

I don't have any encryption on (even though it's not safe)

Some other (maybe) relevant notes

the end of the dmesg output is like is should be saying wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:11:95:49:33:2f using driver ar5211.sys

ndiswrapper -l has the driver (net5211) listed and says it's present

EDIT: It's a cardbus card and it's on my vector lappy (see below)

I'm a touch confused by this. Does this mean you can't set the essid or does it mean that you CAN set the essid, but iwlist still doesn't work? Does iwconfig see the card at all?
