I got it working. It looks like I had /etc/network/interfaces configured
for a static IP address (a misunderstanding from the Debian installer).

Now I'm having difficulty getting my Omnibook to  recognize the Thinkpad
over the router. Here's the syntax for transferring the files:

scp Uncritical_Reading.doc ntrivedi at 192.168.1.102:

which results in:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.101 port 22: No route to host
lost connection

Can I get madwifi-modules from testing?
