I ended up killing the kernel on the system, so I've reinstalled.  
Since I want to have this be a WPA-Enterprise Access Point, I'm trying 
a snapshot of the development series snapshot from today.  I've 
installed the debug version of the glibc in debian, and I get the 
following from gdb
Wireless-3:~# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH gdb

I'm not sure what else to do.
