Hello Jason,
ok the output that you sent told us that the card is
already recognized, so please try the following
#iwlist scanning
it will show the wireless networks near of you
once you decide which one network do you want to
connect to, try this
#iwconfig eth1 essid [network essid] channel [channel]
ap [access point]
after this if the network has a key associated with it
then
#iwconfig eth1 key [the key of your net]
And that's all if you have a dhcp then just wait in
order that one ip is assigned, if not assign an ip by
hand with ifconfig.
I hope this help you,
Kind regards.
