Ah steady on, ifconfig is being a bit forward. If you try an
iwconfig
this will let you know how you stand with even if your wireless
interface is down or has no IP assigned.
iwlist wlan0 scan
should let you know what APs are around if your wireless interface is
called wlan0

Not sure you aren't running...
Also have a look in dmesg, see if there is anything interesting at the end.
