Progress, of a sort.  Following your lead I renamed ~/.gconf then created a 
new connection.  It now tells me that I am connected to myESSID at 0%, and of 
course I have no internet connection on it.  That sounds to me as though it 
has found the signal and latched on to it, but failed to pass my key.

What the !!!! According to the info panel it has an IP address of 10.42.45.1 - 
when the rest of the lan is 192.168.0.x.  Where the heck did that come from?
