This worked nicely. And now I'm using NetworkManager to get my wireless 
connection started, but I'm still faced with 2 problems:

1. NetworkManager doesn't set the hostname based on the dhcp information it 
gets back. My machine continues to be named 'localhost.localdomain'. If I am 
surfing my home wireless network, I want the hostname set to something 
different. Otherwise localhost.localdomain is okay.

(NetworkManager seems to start as almost the last service in runlevel 5.)

2. The bitrate I'm getting is still only 11 Mbps and I know this is a 54 
Mbps capable card.

Any suggested fixes?
