Hello.
I'm currently using eth0 with a static IP. But I'm on a netbook, so I want to connect via WLAN. The outputs from ifconfig and -a and iwconfig. And lspci -v from the card.
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:D3:D5:D1:1D

But when I set the wlan0 up and want to scan for nearby networks, I get this:
wlan0 No scan results
What should I do now?

Okay that worked. I'm now connected with my Router via wlan0, but I don't have internet. If the network cable is attached, I have internet.
My wireless network profile (created with netcfg)
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7240'
KEY='****************'
IP='static'
Networking in rc.conf
HOSTNAME="ARCHe"
eth0="eth0 192.168.178.29 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.178.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.178.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
NETWORKS=(fritz)
What I have tried until now:
Deleting the static configuration in the eth0 line in rc.conf. Didn't work.
Restarting the router. Didn't work.
Switching the mode for wlan0. Didn't work
(I'm a bit desperate, so I'm trying everything sounding good.)
Do you have any ideas?

Okay, I got it.
I deleted the eth0 line in the Networking category in rc.conf, added a eth0 profile in netcfg, changed my wlan0 profile to
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection using a static IP'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wpa'
ESSID='FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7240'
KEY='****************'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.178.26'
GATEWAY='192.168.178.1'
DNS=('192.168.178.1')
And it worked.
