Hi Kel,
I'm just getting started with wireless networking on Linux, so I don't
really know what I'm doing yet. But I'll do my best to help debug
this.
Once I bring the interface up, I can run "iwlist ath0 scanning" and it
completes, and finds my access point.
ath0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:06:25:3C:28:B9

Let me know if you'd like me to try anything else. I'm off to read
about how to set up WPA PSK.
