You should consider upgrading to -stable. There have been a lot of
fixes in the 7.x branch since 7.1-release.

Try doing this instead:
wlans_wpi0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP ssid mamalinz mode 11g"

If your AP doesn't do 11g then leave off that last bit.

Ok, so no encryption on your network at all? We also need the ifconfig
output as someone else mentioned.
