According to iwconfig and ifconfig, my wlan0 is up, has an IP address and is connected to my access point.
My router is also telling me I'm connected so I definitely have some kind of connection.

My /etc/conf.d/net:

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_wlan0=("192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0")
routes_wlan0=("default via 192.168.1.1")

modules=("wpa_supplicant")
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15

My /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.1

I get no errors from /etc/init.d/net.wlan0

My /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="name"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=TKIP
psk=hexkey
}

I can ping 127.0.0.1 but pinging anything on my network like 192.168.1.1 returns destination host unreachable

I don't have exact output of ifconfig/iwconfig but I know these commands and my interface looks up, has an ip and is connected.

iwconfig is reporting a Bit Rate of only 1 Mb/s where it should be 54...

Start with the basics. Disable WPA on your router and try and connect. ie temporarily disable security completely and see if that works.

OK after trying a few different things ( I could connect to the unsecured router) I figured out that I can't have CCMP as a PAIRWISE cipher option in wpa_supplicant.conf even though both the card and the network support it. Could it have been something in the kernel I forgot to build? That Cryptographic api section?

EDIT: Nevermind this didn't seem to actually stick, it's really flaky and isn't working now.
If I kill wpa_supplicant then route add default gw 192.168.1.1 then it works.

Something to do with routes?
