Need help with wireless config.

I am still struggling with this wireless connection. In most cases system-config-network does a reasonable job of setting up configuration for me but I'm not sure what it's doing for "wireless?" The adapter card is plugged into a PCI slot but it keeps calling it eth1 or eth2, it looks to me like it ought to be wlan0?

Wlassistant indicates it is having trouble with routing but I don't know what to enter there and there is no man page:
wlassistant
kbuildsycoca running...
Loaded application options.
DHCP Client: dhclient
All executables found.
iwconfig_status: /sbin/iwconfig
==>stderr: lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

Wireless interface(s): wlan0
Permissions checked.
ifconfig_status: /sbin/ifconfig wlan0
scan: /sbin/iwlist wlan0 scan
Networks found: 1
Checking for active connection.

Iwconfig provides the following:
iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:20 dBm Sensitivity=-109 dBm RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Route shows as follows:
route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.1.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 10.1.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


I think I should be able to browse to 192.168.1.1 and see the router set up screen from this computer via the Linksys WMP54G adapter card. Wlassistant indicates that I have a good quality signal on channel 6. But iwconfig shows zero signal? I guess if I could satisfy the routing requirement it would begin to work.

Can anyone tell me what to do next?
