[gentoo-user] wireless problem

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hello all,
Using a Dell latitude x1, dual-boot with w$ xp; on my campus they have a
wireless network which I can access with my mail login and password. It
works without a problem on w$.
On my gentoo I installed wpa_supplicant with the following item in
the conf file:

network={
	ssid="Universite Paul Cezanne"
	identity="mylogin"
	password="mypassword"
	priority=5
}

Here mylogin and password are also (of course) what I enter to access the
network when on w$.

When I type "iwconfig" I obtain this:

eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"Universite Paul Cezanne"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:12:DA:AE:5A:50   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=91/100  Signal level=-37 dBm  Noise level=-80 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:5350   Missed beacon:0

Seems to indicate I am actually connected?

But then I can't access the network (firefox doesn't find anything).

Maybe it the identity/password which is not correct?

Thanks for any help,
