[wplug] pitt wireless

[Henry Umansky]

I forgot to ask, are you at least getting an IP address, or does your 
network card associate with any AP MAC address.  When you run "ifconfig" 
and there is no IP associated with the device, then run "dhclient ethX" 
where X is 0,1,2,... or whatever the number is for your wireless device, 
see if it gives you an IP using our DHCP server.  Once you have an IP 
address, then all you need to do is fire up a web browser and login.
