hello everybody!

i have a problem with my wlan configuration
access point is a linksys wrt55ag that works (at least for windows clients)
my wlan card is a 3com 3crpag175 that uses the madwifi driver (ath0)
this card works too, i use it every day
but the circumstances are different
to connect to the linksys ap i would have to use wpa/psk
i read this article http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup and decided to use wpa_supplicant
my current setup is this:
/etc/conf.d/net
Code:
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 05"
config_eth0="dhcp"
modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-D madwifi"
wpa_timeout_ath0="10"
ifconfig_ath0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_ath0="-t 10"
/etc/wpa_supplicant
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
opensc_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_opensc.so
pkcs11_engine_path=/usr/lib/opensc/engine_pkcs11.so
pkcs11_module_path=/usr/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
#driver_param="field=value"
#dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime=43200
#dot11RSNAConfigPMKReauthThreshold=70
#dot11RSNAConfigSATimeout=60

network={
        ssid="linksys-g"
        psk="secret"
        priority=5
}
when i run /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start i do not get any error messages that i have misconfigured anything and /var/log/everything/current does not show such ether, but the request for a dhcp address times out

does anybody see here a misconfiguration?
maybe it's really easy and i have done anything completely wrong, but if so, i do not see it myself
any help appreciated
thanks in advance
alex
