well, it's not surprising that i'm not associated with any AP, since i
haven't done anything to finish that part of the process.  my plan
was, as i mentioned, to just use the GUI menu entry for network admin
-- i didn't realize i could also use iwconfig as above to do the same
thing.

but other than that, things are looking good.
