my router hates me

>> That's "essid", not "eesid"
Yep...
I screwed up.
Imagine that...   :) 

dhclient eth1
won't work because you haven't associated with anything yet, that's 
analogous to having no wired plugged in to an Ethernet.
No "link"... 

Try again with "essid" and run iwconfig alone to verify that you are 
associated.
Again, no point to dhclient if you are not associated.
Once associated, if dhclient grabs an IP address, your issue most likely 
lies on the GUI configuring the wireless wrong.
What are you running?
I forgot if you mentioned it... 

If it doesn't grab an IP, most likely you have a miss-configured router.
That's assuming that you are not WEP(ing), which I didn't check for in your 
previous messages.  If you are, just turn it off until you sort this one 
out.
