Cannot see my wireless

So I just installed Arch on one of my laptops.  I've got just about everything up and running correctly, but no matter what I use for network control, I can't see my wireless network.  I can see my neighbors.  One of them even has WPA2 encryption like mine.  I can attempt to connect to them, but of course it fails since I don't know their encryption keys.  I have tried wifi-radar, wicd, and networkmanager.  All of them see my neighboring wireless networks but don't see mine.  I have from wicd even tried telling it to connect to my essid as if it were a hidden network, but that fails.

I know it's not my router, as sidux and Calculate on the same hardware connects just fine (both using wicd).  My other laptops with sidux, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva and Kubuntu are also able to connect without issues to my router, using either wicd and networkmanager (Fedora & Kubuntu networkmanager, everything else wicd).

Wired network works exactly as it should either just starting network or from wicd.

I would prefer to use wicd.  Any ideas?
