Depends on what you're testing.  Remember, IP addresses have to do with
"layer 3" connectivity (network layer of the OSI model).   We first have
to worry about layer 1 (physical), which includes the information output
by "iwconfig".  Without a "physical" connection to the access point, it
really makes no difference what network configuration the card has.

Like I said, *some* driver is working, since you were getting the output
from "iwconfig".  So you should at least test it first before assuming
it's not working!
