Andrew, from your dmesg output, it seems like the device is active and link is up. Did you try to start the networking afterwards, for instance with "sudo ifup wlan0"?
(kmansfield, did you see and read the one post I had before yours?)
Once "sudo ifup wlan0" works, adding "auto wlan0" to /etc/network/interfaces will make it work when you start your computer.
