Wireless laptop connection setup

I have the laptop, d-link wireless router & the cardbus. I am on ntl. Up to
now I have installed the cardbus driver, shut down pc & broadband
modem,connected the modem to the router, powered both on, inserted the
cardbus, started up the laptop. The laptop cannot find a wireless
connection. I have checked in Device Manager and it's there. I have shut
down my firewall to see if it was blocking the connection, all to no avail.
Has anyone any pointers that would lead me in the right direction
Thank you for any responses
