WLAN Problem

Hey guys,

I've got a small problem

I'm running archlinux at my laptop (64bit version)

//
Atheros - AR5B93 WLAN
Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet
//

and I used the following modules for the hardware above

//
modprobe ath5k
modprobe b43
//

Well my ethernet dont work but my wlan so I tried to config it but, yeah it wont work

Im trying to connect to this network:

@home
WPA Pre-Shared-Key
TKIP

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

ap_scan=1

network={
ssid="@home"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
#psk="1307191128021801"
psk='to-long-to-post-i-just-used wpa_passphrase "@home" 1307191128021801'
}

and I use the following command:

ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -BW

iwconfig wlan0:

wlan0 
IEEE 802.11bgn
ESSID:"@home"

ifconfig wlan0:

Link encyp: Ethernet

RX bytes: 5399 (5.2 Kb)
TX bytes: 5970 (5.0 Kb)

My router tells me that
- 192.168.178.29 | C4:17:FE:19:D5:B3 54 MBit/s | WPA, WMM
is connected

But if I ping 192.168.178.29 from another computer I dont get any signal...

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Re: WLAN Problem

The ifconfig command shows no IP adress. Did you run dhcpd or configure for static IP? And please use the code tags. This is horrible to read.
