No, you're not connected to your access point.  If you were, you'd have
a ESSID (that which you specified as your SSID), and your link quality
would be more than zero.

What do your 'wireless.opts' settings look like?  Are you working with
or without WEP?

In addition, efforts to assign an IP address and subnet mask failed.  If I'm reading this properly, I'm not getting a signal to the device--both signal level and noise level are -102 dbm.
