Yesterday you seemed to have communication from your wireless router for
a while.  Let's see if we can do that again.

First, stop dhclient/wpa_supplicant if they are running:

$ sudo pkill wpa_sup
$ sudo kill `cat /var/run/dhclient.wlan0.pid`
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 destroy

Now start over:

$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 ssid WALUBAME
$ sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

If this works you should see:
> wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:21:27:e2:7b:9a completed

$ sudo dhclient -v wlan0

If that works you should see:
> DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1

Then test connection to the router:
$ ping -c3 192.168.1.1

Then try DNS resolution, and Internet connection:
$ ping -c3 www.yahoo.com

If anything doesn't work, take note of the output from all of these
commands, as well as from `ifconfig wlan0`.
