I apologize, I left that out by accident. How do you pull up the actual 
wireless network device? The last time I had to do anything like this 
was on Solaris 8 (ifconfig plumb I believe) but seeing as Linux has 
always been good and shown the network cards by default, I am having a 
hard time remembering how to pull up the new device. The module and 
driver are loaded, the USB output lists the right driver, but I only 
have eth0, lo, and virbr0. I don't remember what /dev item a new network 
interface would be and I have no clue how the newer kernels list these 
devices (last time I was working on stuff like this was 2.4 kernels)
