Manual WiFi Setup
sudo iwconfig eth1
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid 398VC
sudo iwconfig eth1 enc wepkey
sudo iwconfig eth1 key wepkey
sudo iwconfig eth1 commit (error for wireless request "commit changes" (8B00): operation not supported)
sudo pkill udhcpc
sudo udhcpc -i eth1 would sometimes give an error, but then connect

entered these commands manually, several times throughout the day. entered ping google.com and received an acknowledgement from the site

?Next Steps? If these commands work, why do you suppose the tcp wifi script did not work
FYI, roberts suggested using sudo -s with the above commands. However, sudo -s either did not work or I used it incorrectly

Either I'm confused or your pc is confused..   

eth1 ??  this means there is an eth0 hiding somewhere trying to confuse the whole deal, right?  besides, I thought all wifi was automatically declared as wlan0 etc etc

If you enter "sudo su" <cr> the terminal will switch from user to root to save you having to enter "sudo" before every command.

In fact many wifi cards use eth1 - it's worth entering "ps aux | grep udhcpc" to check if udhcpc is trying to connect a wired ethernet adapter eth0, I've found this sometime seems to prevent wifi from connecting

coreplayer2:
interesting,  is that (eth1) a result of the wifi card firmware or udev rules?

The name is compiled into the driver.
