I'm not sure in which section this questions belongs, so mods, feel free to move as you see fit.

Anyway, I got my Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout board yesterday and connected it.
I can "talk" to it using Putty, tried the Arduino IDE (uploading and blinking the led went fine) and I tried Esplorer. Communication seems to be fine.

However, what I cannot get to work is a ... WIFI conection
I tried issuing the commands in Putty,Esplorer, LuaLoader and uploaded the Arduino sketch

Result in LuaLoader:

My access point, router, IS listed below



Result in Esplorer:



Why is this not working ? Where do I start looking for the problem ?
Could it be my router, WRT54GL running Tomato Shibby ? Other WIFI devices connect without problems.
Should I flash other firmware to my ESP using ESP8266Flasher ? Where do I find other firmware ?
Are there any commands I can use to pinpoint the problem ?

I would really like to get WIFI working.

Thanks in advance

Network names and passwords re case sensitive. I would start there.

I checked and double checked those, no luck

WPA passphrases may have 8-63 characters

Also, beware that there was a bug when there is space characters in password, I don't know if this is resolved.
