[Solved] Wicd not finding wireless networks

I have a Belkin Wireless G USB key and can't get it to find any networks.  The wiki said the driver was built into the kernel, so I'm guessing it should work with no problems.  I followed the wiki on installing wicd, and while wicd finds and connects to my wired connection, it's not showing any wireless networks.  Is there something I should be editing that wasn't mentioned (or I failed to notice)?

Edit: Got it.  Ran 'dmesg > eek' and read through it, found out I was missing the firmware.  What confused me was that the firmware wasn't the one mentioned in the wiki.  Nonetheless, works now.
