Glen,
sorry .. I've had to change the Subject and I can't quote your message (long story ;-)
Basically, your wlan0 interface doesn't have an IP address. If you can't get dhcpcd to work for you try setting the IP address manually with ifconfig
ifconfig wlan0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(e.g. ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0)
Make sure you choose an IP that's not already in use on your WLAN. Best way to do this is find a machine that's working correctly, find out what IP it's using, then try an address close by - try pinging the address you choose from the working machine first to make sure it's not being used.
If it still doesn't want to work it may be that the WLAN is using encryption and you need to set the correct key on your card ..
iwconfig wlan0 enc xxxx-xxxx-xx
