I am afraid I'll need a little more hand holding.

you can use Network Manager in gnome. Basically the tools are
iwlist wlan0 scan |less to see the networks available
ifconfig wlan0 up/down
iwconfig wlan0 options
You read your local friendly networks from iwlist; copy your AP mac address; Then type
iwconfig essid your_essid ap Your_Mac_address
and iwconfig should show you associated. Turn off encryption for starters. Then you can run dhclient and log on.

did all the above.
created the file in /etc/modprobe.d and named it wlan1. (Just that one line as-is, right?)
still network manager shows "inactive" status for wlan1. Output
from iwconfig is as follows:
wlan1
IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"NTUWL"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr

What am I missing? (I have no clue where the imoticons in the above cut-and-paste coming from).
Thanks,
