I have the same problem on my T23

lshw gives
*-network:0 DISABLED
                description: Ethernet interface
                product: Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset
                vendor: Intersil Corporation
                physical id: 2
                bus info: pci at 02:02.0
                logical name: wlan0
                version: 01
                width: 32 bits
                clock: 33MHz
                capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical
                configuration: broadcast=yes driver=prism2_pci
latency=64 multicast=yes

I've been battling on and off for about 2 months now to no avail. The
card worked fine with 6.10, Mandriva and windows so I don't believe its
a hardware problem

Ant poiners appreciated.
