Everyone (including John and Keith who tried to get wireless working at the clinic today): I have it running!!! Well, it's up and recognizes the neighborhood networks, including ours. I found a blog page that showed the problem and the fix. Turns out that running rfkill told me there's another driver with a soft lock on the radio: acer_wmi. Removing that from the loaded modules 'modprobe -r acer_wmi' and blacklisting that module solved the problem. The one remaining ubuntu issue with which I need help is getting the system to 'reach' the network. I entered a bunch of local IP addresses with host names in /etc/hosts, and edited /etc/resolv.conf but to no avail. Tried '/etc/init.d/networking restart' but that did no good either. When I try to ping a host on the local network, or one outside, I see 'network is unreachable.' What do I do to fix this?
