So with much digging, it turns out I need a package called "wpa_supplicant", to handle the WPA encryption. And it *mostly* works. 

For networking, this useful Debian administration page [1] should
apply to [x|g|k]ubuntu.  Also, if you can get wpa-supplicant working
(I still haven't gotten it working with madwifi on my thinkpad) then
Network Manager [2] is the guiest way to do things.

I have Network Manager; it does not work (to issue the wpa_supplicant parts, anyway; it will notice when I plug in my wired connection, and automatically issue a pump command for it).
