HI there,
I have had more success now. I got the modules working.
When I do 'iwconfig' it shows me all of the nterfaces that I have on my
system, and which ones have wireless capabilities.
Now I did iwconfig eth1 mode managed key abcdefghi essid myaccesspoint
It connects to the access point, but, I get no internet. It does not get
any ip data from my router's dhcp.
Any ideas?
Thanks, and take care.

Actually, unless it works differently on other distros for some reason, a
simple iwconfig should gen a report for each network device. For instance,
on my laptop I get:
#iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
irda0 no wireless extensions.
