driver loaded but can't send data

I just set up the hostap driver for my wmp11 card and wpc11 adapter, but can't seem to get any data to transmit. My laptop (Apple) sees the network and seems to join it after I enter the password, but I can't connect to anything. I have a firewall that is set up to do IP Masquerading for another machine that is wired, and have played with the configuration to see if that was the problem, but nothing I did seemed to help. I even tried turning it off all together and just logging packets. I have seen some logs from hostap that have my laptops MAC address in them so at least something is being transmitted. I've listed below any data I though might be relevant. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

This is the output from iwconfig:
