I'm trying to setup wireless networking without success on my acer
travelmate 6493 on Slackware 13 64 bit version, and i don't know what
to do anymore, so any clue will be important.

I can connect to my wireless router and obtain an ip addres,
wpa_supplicant find the correct network and the correct encryption
(wpa and tkip), updates the routing table and the resolv.conf but i
can't ping the router neither connect to the internet.

Here are the output of some commands:

Could any one give any clue what is wrong? I had already connect
correctly twice doing the same setps so it is not a hardware problem
and before i had the slackware i used ubuntu and wireles used to work
fine.

Hi,

Maybe you should check your rc.inet1.conf file.
Mine look like this (relevant lines):
IFNAME[4]="wlan0"
USE_DHCP[4]="yes"

The wpa_supplicant.conf file has these values for my own wireless network:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="TL"
scan_ssid=1
psk=e642157907f
}

Suggest you think about changing your key.
