WiFi Atheros card problem

Hi all

I have a problem with Atheros AR5212/AR5213
This is what i have done:
First i have install madWifi drivers from Arch cd (archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso)
At the beginning after i type iwlist  scann nothing was detected (network is working on Windows and Ubuntu)
I found that module ath5t must be not loaded on start so I add ! in rc.conf Module to ignore this
After this step my network was detected

So now i try to connect to internet from terminal

ifconfig ath0 up

iwconfig ath0 essid my_network mode managed rate auto key open s:my_key

ok network is detected becouse in link quality i have 54/70

ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.4 nematsk 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Now i try to ping router but not responding.
What i have done wrong

Thx in advance

I have pretty much the same chipset for my wireless card, and ath5k works like a charm!
