wlan configuration

am I missing some something?

Hi qhr33k,
Obviously you're missing something, otherwise it would work   
I am surely missing details in your problem description ("here it works"), so just some general remarks as a first shot in the dark:

• it only works with PI's with builtin adapter. Using external adapters require extra setup
  
• use a plain text editor, wysiwyg editors can screw up text
  
• only update the proper section (with the protocol of your router)
  
• only change the strings between quotes, don't fancy things up with nice spaces or tabs
  
• mind upper/lower case
  
• restart the box for getting it work
  

If that doesn't help, you may need to connect the box (either keyboard+screen or ethernetcable) to gather debug info - more on that if applicable.
