this thing is going to be the death of me. for example: if i sudo ifup 
wlan0, it cranks along for awhile, failing to get an ip address. ans 
things such as kwifimanager cannot see the router. but if i sudo ifdown 
wlan0, it says it's giving up an ip address -- and for interface wlan0, 
kwifimanager reports, besides an "ultimate" signal -- not surprising; it's 
two feet from the router -- this:

Status of Active Connection
Connected to network: linksys_ses_45106
Access point 00:18:39:E5:5C:C2
Local IP: unavailable
Frequence [channel]: 2.437 [6]
AccessPoint: UNKNOWN

this with wlan0 *turned off*

if i go to kcontrol and try to enter administrator mode for wireless 
network, it sits on "loading" forever.

however, if i go to kcontrol after ifup wlan0 has gone to sleep but is 
running in some fashion, it tells me that i have an enabled wireless 
network device on dhcp with an address of -- this seems a little odd -- 
169.254.7.20, which is not exactly in the 192.168.xx.xx family.

i'm about to give up on computing. i have a typewriter and some 42-cent 
stamps . . .
