 sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap any

great, wpa_supplicant is also working fine now, I did get a few
warnings and I wasn't sure if this was ok to ignore, fixable, or would
need to go to their list with it:

sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - Trying to associate with
00:15:e9:fa:e2:db (SSID='goulahnet' freq=2462 MHz)

In any case, my wirless card is now working!

Thanks so much,
