Well, clearly I'm associated as I can ping the router and also ping
addresses on the far side of the router.  However, dmesg output from
bringing up the interface is appended below.

Something else nasty is going on because for the last three reboots
the machine has only remained up for about 5 minutes at a time before
it becomes unable to execute any new programs and has to be
power-cycled to restart it.  I got one console message about a failed
journal write before the second of those forced reboots.  Sometimes I
can ctrl-alt-F2 over to a virtual console but then mingetty can't fork
so I can't log in; init then shuts down the tty because it's
respawning too fast, and I end up pressing the power button.  I'm
going to have to give up for now.
