Hate to be obvious, but have you:
1. enabled DHCP on the router,
2. configured it to assign to your MAC address (good security),
3. considered putting "map eth1" in the hotplug section of your
/etc/network/interfaces,
4. sacrificed a small animal at sunrise and worn the entrails on your
head in the appropriate manner as prescribed in Section 1.4.16
paragraph C of the manual?
Good luck getting WPA to work, I gave up.
Happy New Yesr,
Jon
