I've tried to dpkg -P to remove,  then reboot, then apt-get install.
Here is the output from that:

I have a new wireless nic (intel) on the way (yes, I gave up), but still
there is so much documentation out there, it's killing me that I can't
get this going.  So as last resort, I thought I'd try my luck here.  If
there is any help please post and/or feel free to email me.  Thanks!
