Just did this (as well as go through the logs) and here are the results.
  I also re-installed Ubuntu from scratch just in case.  Here are the

This is the syslog when I was trying to manually specify the wifi
network using network manager. I tried a number of different security
key settings just in case (though my key is 64 bit Hex)
