Thank you Skyscraper, that worked perfectly! Next... maybe this is just an issue with me, but when I click on the network icon in the right hand corner, I get a 'device' not ready error, and can't use WiFi that way. So I went about it the long way, and here is how I did it, just in case anyone else needs to know.

Code:

ifconfig wlan34 up

This let me find my network

Code:

iwlist wlan34 scan

I was using WEP to test and yes it worked

Code:

iwconfig wlan34 mode managed key (network key)

I used parentheses and inserted by network name

Code:

iwconfig wlan34 essid "network name"

I used this to request an IP

Code:

dhclient wlan34

And ping'ed google to check everything was working!

Code:

ping google.com
