I cleared my log just to be sure... And nothing. ifup wlan0 and my log
is still empty. Yes I remembered to refresh :) No MAC address
anywhere.

The essid is correct but I don't see anything about the channel, which
is 11 on my AP. As you can see the above iwconfig, I don't think its
there.

I attached the output of ps aux. I looked at it like 20x and couldn't
find anything. iwconfig says I'm running an open system but when I
looked at pager /etc/network/interfaces, for some reason my key was
there. Maybe thats something.

Again thank you for your help. I feel useless b/c all I can say is "I
don't know..." I'm really thankful and just to say it, I'm looking up
everything I'm learning here just b/c. Thank you!!!
