Asus 1201N - wireless setup

Howdy, community! Once again, I come asking for help..

I have an asus 1201N eeepc and successfully installed arch on it. I have been following wiki on 1201N, wiki on 1201NL and wiki on Wireless Setup.

The driver (from AUR) seems to be correctly installed because iwconfig shows the interface is there, and after ifconfig wlan0 up, iwlist wlan0 scan shows some known networks around me.

Now... I understand that was the first part, getting the proper driver. My network uses WPA-Personal, so I need wpa_supplicant to work properly. Following the wiki and this, I can't get the right profile and

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

gives me

ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted

=/

As of now, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf has:

network={
       ssid="mywlan_ssid"
       bssid=mywlan_bssid
       proto=RSN
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       #pairwise=CCMP TKIP (the default)
       psk=jabberwocky
}
}

Something I should try? Some more info you need?

Thank you

Netcfg works a lot better for my asus.
