I've tried to dpkg -P to remove, then reboot, then apt-get install. Here is the output from that:

I have a new wireless nic (intel) on the way (yes, I gave up), but still there is so much documentation out there, it's killing me that I can't get this going. So as last resort, I thought I'd try my luck here. If there is any help please post and/or feel free to email me. Thanks!
