The dmesg is from an install of Ubuntu Studio 8.0.4 amd64, on which I have
not made a major attempt to wifi.
I got similar wifi results with Hardy from canonical. In fact, the same
results from all I've installed (UBStudio 8.0.4/8.10 i386 & amd64, Hardy
i386).
The only period wifi worked was when I first took the laptop out of the box
from Dell with whatever they had loaded for Hardy.
Unfortunately, I did not look at anything about the out-of-box install
because it worked and I was unaware that Dell did anything special.
I have not attempted to install the Ubuntu CD that came from Dell...it
looks just like what canonical sends.
I also don't know about "oops" could you educate me please? I'm off to
google it now.
Thanks,
Mac

@Mac - does standard Hardy work? I noticed in your dmesg listing that
you have a kernel oops that may be related to the -rt flavour. It is
likely the reason that wireless isn't working. You cannot depend on
anything working correctly after an oops.

Bug description:
Ubuntu 8.0.4
Kernel: 2.6.24-23-rt
Laptop came with hardy (installed by Dell) wifi worked with wep key. It
was then wiped and vanilla hardy Ubuntu Studio 8.04 was installed.
Since then wifi doesn't work, I've tried a variety of stuff from a variety
of forums and such to no avail.
The PC shows the wap and the wap log says the pc connected. But the pc
can't access the wap (ping) or the network beyond the wap,
intranet/internet.
Other pc (windowsxp) accesses wap/internet fine.
No dhcp involved, fixed ip inuse.
