What wireless card model are you using and what distribution?  Anything
obviously wrong in the log files when when you insert the USB card?

It could be a driver issue.  Just because the system sees it does not mean
it's going to work.  Prime example is the airport card in Apple Powerbooks,
a driver update needs to be installed for it to work properly, at least that
was the case on mine.
