Need help with wireless config.

[Bob Goodwin]

I am still struggling with this wireless connection.  In most cases 
system-config-network does a reasonable job of setting up configuration 
for me but I'm not sure what it's doing for "wireless?"  The adapter 
card is plugged into a PCI slot but it keeps calling it eth1 or eth2, it 
looks to me like it ought to be wlan0?

Wlassistant indicates it is having trouble with routing but I don't know 
what to enter there and there is no man page:
wlassistant
kbuildsycoca running...
Loaded application options.
DHCP Client: dhclient
All executables found.
iwconfig_status: /sbin/iwconfig
==>stderr: lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

Wireless interface(s): wlan0
Permissions checked.
ifconfig_status: /sbin/ifconfig wlan0
scan: /sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan
Networks found: 1

Iwconfig provides the following:
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Auto  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated  
          Bit Rate:54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:20 dBm   Sensitivity=-109 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

Route shows as follows:
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
10.1.1.0        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
default         10.1.1.254      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


I think I should be able to browse to 192.168.1.1 and see the router set 
up screen from this computer via the Linksys WMP54G adapter card.  
Wlassistant indicates that I have a good quality signal on channel 6.  
But iwconfig shows zero signal?  I guess if I could satisfy the routing 
requirement it would begin to work.

Can anyone tell me what to do next?
