Ok Ben, I updated and tried again. Much MUCH closer!!!!
It actually connected to a MAC address secured only wireless network. I have not tried other configs yet, I will tomorrow.
But it still does not get online. It is able to connect, but it reports a 0% connection and still no IP. I am 3 foot from the router, and have and excellent signal for at least another 200 foot diameter in windows.
Below I have my dmesg, ifconfig and iwconfig readouts.
dmesg
[4295418.654000] SoftMAC: Open Authentication completed with 00:blah:blah:blah
