Hi,
Are you using the modules from the kernel source or from pcmcia-cs? Are you using yenta_socket or pcmcia-cs? pcmcia-cs has given me a lot more positive results than trying to use yenta_socket and the built in kernel modules. Also, try binding your card IDs to use wavelan_cs instead and see if it works (maybe those cards are a bit older and as such need older drivers.)
Also see if /sbin/iwconfig (hopefully you have this gem installed, it's wireless-tools by Jean Tourrilhes @ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html) gives you any useful information. Is it picking up an AP?
Finally, ACPI might not make a difference, but see if enabling or disabling APM does.
Hope this helps you. Regards
-Josh
