I imagine not.

This should show you all of the AP's that your card can see (and info 
about what kind of setup they use.)

  iwlist eth1 scan

Of course, make sure that your card didn't move from eth1 to wlan0 or 
whatever (a bare iwconfig will verify this.)  Also, you may need to use 
ifup (or ifconfig) to get the card configured with dhcp, etc.
