What's dmesg have to say about all this excitement?

# iwconfig
# iwlist eth0 scan

Since the previous Jan 5th basis I understood the kernel had, there are
relatively few patches.  The main change is WLAN driver is now in modules.

# lsmod

I guess check eth0 is still assigned to WLAN with

# ifconfig -a

as well.
