Ok, well here's my results after testing colony 5. After booting up the cd I
tested my connection, but it wasn't connected so I went to
"System->Administration->Networking". There were three devices (ppp0, eth0, and
ath0), all with the status of not configured. I clicked on the properties for
ath0, set the essid, and changed the configuration to dhcp, then clicked ok. I
clicked ok again and tested the connection, it still wasn't there. I went back
into the Networking, and changed the "Default gateway device" to ath0. I clicked
ok again and tested the connection but it still wasn't there. So I went back to
Networking one more time and noticed the "Default gateway device" wasn't set to
ath0 (even though I set it previously). I figured out that I had to create a
location (I don't remember having to do this previously), but after I created a
location and changed the "Default gateway device" to ath0, it stayed ath0, and
my connection finally worked.

So yes, it worked after doing the above, thanks.
