Hi,

I think you mix something up...

This will not work for a AT76C505A-based device.

There is no /etc/syconfig... on Debian.
You have to put similar settings in /etc/network/interfaces.

However as long iwconfig does not show a wireless device, there is no 
reason to put up any "higher level" settings for TCP/IP etc.
Jesus already reported that he tried to manually load the module with no 
positive output through iwconfig...
