Well, the bad news is that NetworkManager needs to stay disabled. The
good news is that handling things manually worked well. As root I did a
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 \
-c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf &
dhclient ath0
This negotiated the attachment to the router and got me a dhcp lease.
The entry in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf looked like:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="routerssid"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="My preshared key"
}
And, of course, you can have multiple network entries in the file.

Im excited that it worked. I am having some issues with my wireless
again. After about 10mins of running it causes a kernal crash. So there
is progress in that it is able to connect via WEP, now I just need it to
stay connected.
