I have an Everex laptop (ick, but it was super cheap) that has an
Atheros wireless NIC in it, but I can't seem to get it to connect to
my wireless in-home LAN. Here's what I've done so far (that isn't
working) - any suggestions?

What step am I missing that will connect me to the listed access point?
I've looked this up in Google, but frankly the mass of information
there is either off point (ubuntu, SuSE, etc.) or Windoze or doesn't
apply to my NIC or something else. I've spent a whole day on this one
and I'm no closer to a/the solution - well, I did get as far as the
above.
Thanks.
Mark
