I don't think iwconfig will work as the interface seems unable to come up.
At CLI type

Code:

 lsmod | grep wl12xx

and view output. It should be as follows:

Code:

wl12xx                 77696  0 
mac80211              153180  1 wl12xx
crc7                    1216  1 wl12xx

This is the first step to troubleshoot, viz are the drivers loaded and is the wireless card active.

If you don't see this, try as root, via

Code:

sudo gainroot

Code:

modprobe wl12xx

I don't think this will be what's the problem but let's see wots wot.

HA

PS: Also try asroot

Code:

modprobe -r wl12xx

Code:

modprobe wl12xx

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up
