Is wpa_supplicant installed, or are you genuinely
trying to configure
everything via wireless_tools (iw*)?

I didn't want anybody to think ill of me, that I was averse to new
experiences, so I poked around and found that wpa_supplicant has a wpa_gui.
So I fired it up, entered all the necessary information, shared key, etc.,
and I get a message "Could not get status from wpa_supplicant".
On one of my reboots I went into the bios settings, just to be sure, and I do
have wifi enabled, so it's not a problem at that level.
The puzzle for me is why it will work just fine for a few reboots. Once I get
it working, I avoid messing with it until I know my system better, but this
doesn't make any sense. It works, then it doesn't.
