OK, I've edited the networks file so that ifup will work with wlan0. now, when I do dhclient, here's what I get. wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3 Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 the only thing that dmesg yields is: wlan0: no IPv6 routers present which doesn't seem to be much of a problem. I can iwlist scan, and see the router I want. when I do iwconfig essid "my network" it shows up on iwconfig wlan0, but I'm not able to see where to put in the wpa key--I filled out my wpa config file, for wpa_supplicant but it doesn't seem to be connecting me to the router. It might also be worth noting that ifconfig wlan0 does not give an IP address. I hope I've provided enough info--I'm totally lost here. I've followed docs, and it seems to have not worked as well as I would have hoped.
