The linux-wlan-ng-pre-up script dies because there is no p80211 module: 
 
toojays at fuzz:/etc/wlan$ sudo ifup --verbose wlan0

run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d

I tried cutting out that part of the script like so: 
toojays at fuzz:/etc/network/if-pre-up.d$ diff -u linux-wlan-ng-pre-up.0.2.2dfsg-4ubuntu1 
linux-wlan-ng-pre-up

Now, ifup can get the card to associate with the AP, but no I can't ping it, nor does 
DHCP work, and iwconfig says there is no signal:
