It appears that the upgrade borked seeing the network card. Your syntax is
correct for bringing it up but it's just a wrapper to iwconfig and other
bits I believe, same thing as Slackware's /etc/rc.d/rc.inet stuff. Anyway,
someone mentioned posting lspci and I think that would be the route to go so
we can tell what type of card is in the machine.
