Thanks for taking the time to respond.
First, I had tried running vlwifi. It found eth0 as the wireless interface and offered to set it up. After I entered the SSID, WEP key, and cofigured with dhcp to run at startup, the response was 'failed - could not obtain an address for wireless interface eth0.'
Here is the output from lspci and lsmod:
