wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet

I recently installed Arch on my eeePC and gotten wireless working on it. I'm not sure if I got it working after the kernel 2.6.32 update or if  I changed something, but now my wan0's link encap is ethernet and I can't connect using wpa_supplicant then dhcpcd. I'm not sure if I did something wrong. Is there ANYTHING that I could've broke here?

I'm sure I've modified rc.conf a bit.

For what it's worth, my wireless interface has 'Link encap:Ethernet' as well. (But it works. Broadcom BCM4328 wireless using old driver 5.10.91.9.3-3 because the new one seems to be slightly broken.)

Well, I don't get why my WPA thing doesn't connect. Is there some way to find errors?

Okay, I reinstalled Arch Linux and it seems Kernel 2.6.32 breaks connecting wirelessly.

A small note is on kernel 2.6.30 or 31 (whichever is on the 2009.08 disk) is that it changes from ra0 which worked to wlan0.

Nevermind, somehow fixed itself. Weird.
