Matt,
The 2 commands you'll want which should shed some light will be
ifconfig and iwconfig. iwconfig lets you see the wireless setting for
the card, including whether it has associated with the accesspoint
correctly. you'll want to check and see if it has the APs MAC address
info. If not, it isn't correctly connected yet, if so, than you should
be talking to the AP properly, and may only lack an IP address. In any
case, please feel free to bring it by the clinic tonight. Perhaps we
can help with the slow boot time as well, or help get wireless working
in your DSL setup.
