Ok there is a gui tool ... both lights are blinking on the d-link pcmcia card. Looks like everything updated in /etc/network/interfaces and when I issue the iwconfig command.
Progress ... :)
I can ping the gateway from another computer but not my laptop .. I took down some notes on how it was configured in windows XP and I noted data encription wep enabled but do not find anything like that in the GUI tool...
Any suggestions much appreciated.

I find it extremely easy to use and to setup wireless devices.

To list the aps in range use:
# iwlist scan
If your access point does not have encryption or a mac filter on it you
should be able to do:
# iwconfig ath0 essid "Your access point's ssid"
# dhclient ath0
That will connect you to the
access point then request an ip address.
