Given that your earlier message indicated that you did stuff like 
installing the DHCP package while using bootscripts for dhcpcd (yes, 
aside from the fact that that they both deal with dhcp, "dhcpcd" and 
"DHCP" are two completely unrelated packages), I'd say you need to 
double-check that you really do have the right setup.

Of course, that is assuming that you also have the wireless stuff set up 
correctly as well (does "iwconfig [interface]" list the correct ESSID 
and encryption key? Do they show up in "iwlist scan"?). Also it's not 
likely to be a kernel config issue as the wireless device probably would 
never even be recognized if that were the case.
