Thanks for the thoughts Rick, I used to use WEP but wanted to increase
the level of security so I changed everything to WPA several months
ago.  I've double-checked the passphrase and verified that I am
successfully connecting to the router.  Both the logs on the router
and from wpa_supplicant indicate that I'm connected and authenticated,
so I don't think it's a passphrase problem.

I have a vague, unsubstantiated feeling that it has more to do with
the DHCP (dhclient) than with anything else.  I just wish I could
identify it more clearly.

I'll continue to tinker with it and let everyone know what the problem
is when I figure it out.  In the meantime, if anyone has any
suggestions, let me know.

Brad.
