my /etc/conf.d/net has the following :
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"
wpa_timeout_ath0=60
config_ath0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_ath0="-t 10"

in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf add the following :
network={
ssid="linksys"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
change linksys into the SSID you give your router.
