Well, running ifconfig will show you all valid interfaces on your machine. 
You could also do lsmod to see if the module is actually loaded. iwconfig 
(no options) shows only wireless interfaces. Your wireless interface may 
not end up being wlan0, but some other. For example I have a ralink card 
and the interface is called ra0. I've never seen a wireless interface end 
up as eth0, but I think one of the cards Sindi was using ended up being 
eth0 (or maybe eth1)?
