First, check the easy things: is there a physical switch to enable wireless? Is it on?
There is no physical switch to enable wireless there.

Notebooks also have function-key combinations to enable and disable the radio.

Please post the output of 'ifconfig -a'.

I don't see anything obviously wrong. Is an access point within range? Has someone set it to have a "hidden" SSID?
