I did what you said and used this site: https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
I also did apt-get install firmware-realtek.
Once I had done apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, everything worked out
fine.

Did you reload the ipw2000 module after installation of the firmware?
Don't know if 'modprobe -r ..' would work. Else you'd have to reboot.

only an IPv6 address so that I appeared to be unable to make any actual
connections anywhere, I obviously did get through because, from my rout
The following lines in /e/n/i worked and wireless is now running (I am
connected over it with ssh), so the hardware is fine - though it is the
onboard card that is working, and the USB card is still not!!

When booting up the messages reported failure to load something to do with the

I am checkinh whether the problem is sudden hardware failure. I plugged in a

Thank you Brian for showing me that "route -v" is my friend :-) That

Thank you J. Bakshi for your explication of the use of the pre-up and

I have gotten wpa_supplicant and ifplugd mostly working, with wpa_cli and
wpa-roam.conf. My configuration seems to work in connecting me wirelessly

I installed ifplugd. Still, the wireless does not work if I unplug the

connect (most of the time). Following is a session where the process

Much too hasty a statement. When the ethernet cable is unplugged the
