For my wireless card I have the following entry - 

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
    wireless-key ***********
    wireless-essid ****
    wireless-mode managed

If your router is serving out IP addresses try running the following
command from the command line and post the output if you don't get a
connection -

sudo dhclient eth1
