modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 key my_128bit_key  #Tried key w/quotes too
iwconfig wlan0 essid "my_essid"
ifconfig wlan0 up

I can do:
iwlist wlan0 scan

I can see six cells, this one is mine:

I do have a 10/100 eth0, but I never get an eth1, just wlan0. I do not
have anything for eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Should I
expect to see eth1?

ifconfig gives me:
