Yep, it was a routing thing. I made sure that the wireless LAN module was

/etc/networks/interfaces to auto bring up wlan0 ad DHCP; and presto! Here I
am, answering this email wirelessly. :-)

Nope; all LAN cards are modules (eth0 and wlan0). On a desktop; I might
compile them into the kernel, since they'd never *not* be there and needed.
A laptop is different.
