wlan0 up...but no data

I just set up the hostap driver for my wmp11 card and wpc11 adapter, but can 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 set up for IP Masquing another machine that is wired, but no matter how I configure it I can't see any data. 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:
