OK, I've edited the networks file so that ifup will work with wlan0. now, 
when I do dhclient, here's what I get.
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3
Sending on   LPF/wlan0/00:1e:e5:9f:62:f3
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
the only thing that dmesg yields is:
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
which doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
I can iwlist scan, and see the router I want.
when I do iwconfig essid "my network" it shows up on iwconfig wlan0, but I'm 
not able to see where to put in the wpa key--I filled out my wpa config 
file, for wpa_supplicant but it doesn't seem to be connecting me to the 
router.
It might also be worth noting that ifconfig wlan0 does not give an IP 
address.
I hope I've provided enough info--I'm totally lost here. I've followed docs, 
and it seems to have not worked as well as I would have hoped.
Thanks,
