Sorry to the list for not trimming in this instance.

Young,

What that all shows is that your wireless *is* working otherwise you
wouldn't be able to scan all of those networks around you. Is
'ESSID:"SqwatTall"' your wireless network?

You need to go to Network Manager & set up wlan0. Sorry, I use wicd, so
someone else will have to help you configure in NM.
