[CS-FSLUG] wifi problems

[Dave & Ella McMullen]

my laptop properly identifies my wireless 'modem' (Actiontec), it's speed,
channel,frequency,signal strength, etc. (when I give the command: "iwlist
wlan0 scanning".  wifi-radar also does so, but it will not connect.  Can't
get an ip number, neither through wifi-radar, or "dhclient wlan0"  I have
a Compaq Presario v2000 series, with a broadcom 'card' built into the
motherboard (bcm18xx).  I'm am running Mint7 on the laptop.
