[SLL] Home Toshiba laptop is unable to connect with wireless

[Bill Warner]

I worked through laptop wpa wireless using the atheros chipset and the 
part proprietary madwifi drivers. I think your drivers will be different. 
It was a hassle, and doesn't permit me to switch networks easily, but it 
does allow me to code on the couch.

This link has everything I had to do and more.
