linksys wireless on Debian Testing

[JoeHill]

Roadblock number two...

System has a Linksys WMP54G wireless LAN card, and it seems to be recognized by
the system properly, but it could not get a dhcp offer on boot and nothing
shows up in the wireless network browser.

This is what I get from hwinfo:

maudib:/home/lajolla# hwinfo --wlan

I'm really new to wireless, so I might be missing something really obvious
here, any tips?
