Wireless Problem Atheros AR9285 (ath9k)

Hi,
I try to connect with the Internet use these commends:

iwconfig wlan0 essid "The Kingdom Of The Marschall"
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0

and then

 
dhcpcd[2412]: version 5.5.6 starting
dhcpcd[2412]: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd[2412]: timed out
dhcpcd[2412]: allowing 8 seconds for IPv4LL timeout
dhcpcd[2412]: timed out

I don't know what is wrong.

Some additional information

I know about this problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1084982, but it couldn't concern me, because I've upgrade my system and now my kernel release is 3.3.2-1.

Does it associate with your AP/router correctly (aka what does iwconfig show you)?
