OK, here's an update with the output of the same commands. At least the eth1 
scan found an essid. I hadn't done anything different when I booted into 
Linux but the scan found "home" nonetheless. Anyway here's the output:

$ iwlist scan
lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth1      Scan completed :

Thanks for the response. I ran some commands from suggestions at Ubuntuforums 
also as well as your suggestions. I'm not great at the command line but 
here's the output. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. As a thought, I 
had mac-on-linux installed but it got wiped during the apt-get upgrade. I was 
having an issue with it when I rebooted into Linux from OS X in that I had to 
start MOL and then quit it for my network in Ubuntu to come up. I have no 
idea if this is some vestigal problem or not. Anyway, here are the outputs 
(except for the last bit which is a pico file).
