Please check the wifi light on your computer.
If it is on, installation was successful.
If it is not, reboot. If it is still not, try pressing the wifi button.
If it doesn't work, please post on the forums for help.
the light did not turn on right away, but after running the script, by pressing the button it would turn on, and now that ive rebooted, it is on.

System->Admin->Networking shows eth1 as active.
nm-applet shows only my wired network.
gnome-netstatus-applet shows only eth0 (wired) and lo connections.
my home network is a wpa-personal, but it was configured correctly with wpa_supplicant, etc. as it worked for a day before. im also in range of my neighbors network, which is not encrypted.
suggestions?
