all you needed to do was run permission repair.

John, I figured it out.
Here is what I wound up doing:
First of all, I went to Utilities then to the keychain manager.
I did a search for the word Airport. I basically deleted everything under
there that had to do with Airport.
Next, I went to
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Under there is a file called com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
I deleted this file, then went to:
/Library/Preferences
I then found the file called com.apple.networkconfig.plist
I also deleted this file. Then, I rebooted.
Once rebooted, I went to the apple menu, and to system preferences. Under
here, I went to network.
Then, I re-enabled the Airport Service.
Once this was done, I reconnected to my WIFI. I put my key in, and told it to
remember in my keychain.
Once reconnected, I closed the lid of my system, forcing it to go to sleep.
About 5 minutes later, I lifted the lid, and boom! I was immediately
reconnected.
Problem solved! Yea!
Chris.
