Wireless Issues

[merlin_ie]

hey all. i've put Jaunty on my friends laptop, but the problem is we can't choose his wireless connection from the list. his connection is the one greyed out and it's an old IBM Thinkpad. here is the output from ifconfig (please don't laugh it's a stupid mistake i'm making lol)
