output of the iwconfig command #1

Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (81B1A) :

Run iwconfig wlan0 again

for the dhclient wlan0 I see the expected DHCPDISCOVER happening. However WAP answers are never accepted. I know the WAP works with Linux. If I didn't I wouldn't be typing this right now. (btw the wap is a linksys running linux) The IT seems to think that no DHCPoffers were recieved. However according the logs on the WAP it was sending offers to my mac. Tried it on two different waps so far. Going to try static next.
