[ Eeepc 701 ] wireless can't connect to any wifi sources

First sorry for my ugly english, it's not my mother language .
I recieved an eeepc few days ago and decided to install Arch Linux. I tried to follow the wiki and i got a problem. I wonder why my wireless chipset can't find my *box(router) to connect to it. So that i installed on my eeepc

Toofishes kernel 2.6.25
Toofishes madwifi (I let madwifi module (not ath_pci/hal) on the modules list).
ighea's eee modules

I installed also other apps like wm...
Command ifconfig wlan0 up then iwlist wlan0 (this one display that wlan0 have no responses).

So if you have an eeepc with a functional Arh on it, can you tell me how did you managed to do it ?
Thanks for replies

Tanks for help, my problem is solved, wireless connection works fine

If you didn't already find it, try posting in the eeepc thread over here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=297632 Lots of people have wireless working fine.
