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

Not really hiding, most likely presence of an ethernet card.
I happened to remove my ethernet card recently, and since then my radio instead of eth1 has eth0 assigned.

Thanks Juanito

iwconfig lists my ethernet card as eth0
will try ps aux | grep udhcpc and report back
Thanks everyone for sticking with me.

"ps aux | grep udhcpc"
see attachment
udhcpc appears to be the most fragile part in the process
it either connects, now with the constant error message, see attached
or, it keeps sending discoveries and, I have to CTRL-C to exit, then start all over again
?What are my Next Steps?
Juanito:
--- Code: ---# ps aux | grep udhcpc
2668 root grep udhcpc
--- End code ---
That means there's no other instance of udhcpc running, which is a good thing.
I guess the next step could be to try something slightly different - for example:
--- Code: ---sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "ssid"
sudo iwconfig eth1 key restricted 7D:3A:7C:72:F7:9A:6F:91:DF:CF:C9:AD:CE [replace with your wep key]
sudo udhcpc -b -i eth1 -x hostname:box -p /var/run/udhcpc.eth1.pid
--- End code ---

Might be a good idea to use boot code "nodhcp" when planning to use wireless net.
