[Carruth, Rusty]

And I'd do the iwconfig while there to see the strengths....

I would second this question. Your connection was showing 0 connection
not a wrong ap.

okay.... I took it in and the tech said she had connected to the net
before she gave it back to me. then she said I probably was connecting
to the wrong access point. how do you select ap with xfce wm?

this post will give you a nudge in the right direction,

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.

kind of connectivity, DB levels, fully connected? How do I determine

Michael,

I've heard in the past that when people fix the keyboard in a laptop.
That sometimes that can knock off the wireless adapter 
by accident.  Have you tried by an Ethernet cable?

I just got my laptop back from the repair shop and it isn't getting an
ip address. It was in the shop because   the keyboard needed replacing.
Can you help me figure out why it isn't getting the address?
