Ok, that does all look fine.  At this point, either the wifi driver
isn't cooperating, or there isn't a DHCP server listening.  I'd rule out
the firewall because typically they let DHCPv4 through by default.  One
other thing you could do is set the connection to "manual" (ie, static)
IPv4 addressing, enter an address that you know is on the router's
subnet, and try to ping the default router.  If that works, then clearly
something is wrong with DHCP.  If that doesn't work and you're sure the
address/netmask you set is correct, then there's something wrong in the
driver.  Yet another alternative is to do the static IP thing and then
run a wireshark packet capture and see if the wifi card sees any traffic
at all.

Anyone else have any thoughts?  If the 4-way handshake works, that
indicates your WPA passphrase is correct.
