Agricolae--thanks for the suggestion. There is no Network-Manager on my
install, but fortunately your idea kept me going long enough to *nearly* find
the solution.
Turns out I made a mistake in my original post. If the ifup command fails,
then the iwconfig command will also fail:
$sudo ifu
Hello,
Sorry in advance if this is a bit long--I tried to keep it very clear.
Having some trouble establishing my wireless connection. I recently upgraded
Sarge to Etch. Now using the stock 2.6.18 686 kernel. No problems with the
main part of the upgrade.
However, I like to use the latest

Thanks for the idea--I think using module-assistant is a perfectly good
alternative approach. In fact, your post has inspired me to try it, and also

group, which makes a driver for my Linksys WiFi device. If anyone has some
development experience, or just understands Makefiles, I'd really appreciate
some help.

Well I'm back in business. I restored my dpkg permissions back to normal with
this:
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.10.28_i386.deb
Also, I figured out that the culprit that removed others' execute permission on dpkg was

Manoj--thanks for a real nice trick with the "dpkg-deb --contents"--I had no
idea this would output the default file modes, owners, etc! Now I'm just wondering if
dpkg can reinstall dpkg (reinstall itself?), to get back to that happy like-new state?

Thanks to everyone who replied with ideas about my post. Let me give quick
replies to the questions you asked me:
Manoj--yes, dpkg is in /usr/bin, and is in the user's path, but no normal user
has execute access to dpkg:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg

I was following a tutorial (http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html) for
compiling a custom kernel, and got to the stage where it said to run this: "fakeroot
make-kpkg clean"
However, this command generated a bunch of errors saying this:
