wireless connection failed
 
hello!
new installation in IBM Thinkpad R50e. I installed the indicated firmware, and I tried to configure the network via the gui applet. I found three networks, I did choose mine, I entered the WPA, I also saved the configuration, but nothing. The indicator flashes during the operation, but after this remains lighted, with no response. no ping, no adrees in ifconfif.
Any idea?

maybe dhcp is turned off? try with nm-applet and wicd, maybe it will make a difference.
