One more thing. If I run iwconfig after running the above commands I get
this:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point:
00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:25 dBm
          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

It doesn't show the ESSID, says Encryption is off, and Access Point
address of 00:00:00:00:00:00.

I assume these settings are part of my problem. Why didn't the settings
"take"? Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
James
