lenny + intel iwlwifi nem csatlakozik

sziasztok!
Adott egy hp compaq 6720s notebook c2d procival, intel platformmal rajta amd64-es debian lenny beta2. minden tökéltesen működik, a wifit kivéve, avagy az is működik, de mégsem. :/
a pontos tipus "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG"

synapticbol feltelepitettem a firmware-iwlwifi csomagot, azt hittem minden rendben megy, mert látja a kapcsolatokat, az ifoncfig-ban is minden ok, a MAC címet is látja, de amikor csatlakozni akarok egy nyílt, titkosítatlan hálózatra (pl McDonalds-ban vagy akárhol) akkor a végtelenségig kéri az ip cimet... kiirja, hogy connected, de aztán végül nem tudja megállapítani az ip címet :S találkozott már ilyennel vki, hogy működik is meg nem is? :/ a 64 bitre gyanakszom, de ha az lenne a baj, akkor egyáltalán nem is látna semmit.

A segítséget és a tanácsokat előre is köszi.
