What distro are you using?
Do you have the correct Driver installed?
you can simply do a lspci -l
Are you using ndiswrapper? do you have it linked correctly to the kernel?
wpa_supplicant enabled?
this is a good place to start...otherwise google linux and wireless...

distro: SLED 10
controller: 10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02 )

Sled,
If I understand you correctly, it does eventually connect, but it takes about 75 seconds, and then it will die out? or do you maintain connection?
I believe the issue is that specific card has had issues with compatibility. I googled and found this to be helpful.

I read this, and it sounded similar to your issue.

and about wpa_supplicant...
it would be in the sessions, down towards the bottom of list, if it is installed...

go to services ....
find wpa_supplicant, check and hit enable....
if it enables...then you have wireless, otherwise it will give you an error...you should post that error so that we can see what the problem is.
