In this setup, what's odd to me is that the interface is defined as 
ifcfg-wlan0 and contains the ip address info.  Yet, the wireless info that 
I would expect to be there isn't.  Very odd.  I'm assuming it's a 
Mandrakism.  I don't have the ability to run the Mandrake install right 
now as the box is remote and is serving in a firewall capacity using a 
parallel install of RedHat.  Again, thanks for the above.
