Here's what I've learned for all those who might get something from it:

Code:
ifconfig urtw0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 wid "Borders" wepmode on wepkey 0xab875ab875
that should configure your wireless if. let me explain. urtw0 is your wireless usb, 10.0.0.1 -- just memorize it b/c as far as i know you use it all the time. netmask is the same memorize it b/c you use it all the time. wid is equivalent to ssid on an ethernet it's the name or id in our case a Borders coffee shop. wepmode, i still have work this out but it's for protecting your connection it's the encryption method. and wepkey is the password for that wireless network you're trying to get into.

then do:

Code:
sudo dhclient urtw0
you should get a connection ... if not look into your dhclient.conf in /etc and fiddle with it like so:

dhcp

that line above works best for me

dhcp NONE NONE NONE

that line has three NONE's after dhcp

and there are more, but this should get anyone started who's in the same boat as me.
