not getting ip address

[Stephen Partington]

this post will give you a nudge in the right direction,
http://superuser.com/questions/272723/wireless-signal-strength-in-linux

the key line is "Link Quality=74/100 Signal level=-61 dBm Noise level=-107
dBm" If you have a wireless device but those signals are low/nonexistent
your antenna might have been disconnected in some way. also if you have a
definite wireless device but poor levels try moving abnormally close to
your AP, like right next to it and see what the DB levels look like.
secondary hint that the wireless issue is an antenna issue.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
