Good to call me on the default gateway, because sometimes it is the simple stuff, but this time I think it was just me going faster than the computer could apply changes, and it got bogged down. That part is working now.
As for the output of those two commands, they look to the untrained eye to be symptoms of a correctly configured card. The only problem is that it just doesn't like to ping anywhere or look at any website. Since I most recently enabled eth1
I have sent 9 packets according to the connection properties... that seems low given the number of times I submitted http requests to test it.

Edit: and one other observation, it's reading out at 100% signal quality, regardless of whether I'm a meter from the WAP or my current position of across the house in the basement (where Windows tells me the signal is weak).
