If the ESSID is correct, chances are the MAC Address is also correct. So
it looks like your prism54 is already associated with the AP. So what's
your problem? Perhaps you're forgetting to get an IP address via dhcp or
something... Depends on how your AP is operating.

If that's the case, then do dhcp eth1 or dhclient eth1 or whatever dhcp
client you use on your system.

It's off to disk I go,
A bit or byte to read or write,
I/O, I/O, I/O...
