gentoo does not connect to wifi (wpa_supplicant)

[m_p_w]

Ok in my case kernel, drivers and wifi card work just fine
However, I think that I am setting up wpa_supplicant wrongly.

This is what I did (my OS uses wlan0 for my wifi)

1)
Installed wpa_supplicant and iw
[code] emerge --ask net-wireless/iw net-wireless/wpa_supplicant/code]


2)
edit /etc/conf.d/net by adding the following lines

modules_wlan0= "wpa_supplicant"
config_wlan0="dhcp"


3)
scan the wifi networks and choose one from the list
[code]iwlist scan[/code]

4)
add my wifi network to the wpa_supplicant.conf
[code]wpa_passphrase ESSID password >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf[/code]

5)
add wpa_supplicant to start up
[code]rc-update add wpa_supplicant default[/code]

Do you know what I am missing?
