You are well associated to the AP, but don't have an IP addr;
does the AP supports DHCP, i.e. is willing to give you an IP addr? maybe
your MAC addr must be known by the AP; check with the Admin of the AP;
also check with 'ps ax | fgrep dhc' if you run the DHCP client, if not
force this by hand with:
# dhclient wi0
