Ok that worked, although I have some routing issues now. The manual method did not work though.

Although it says encryption key off, but I presume wpa_supplicant is handling that.

So its connected to my access point, and I turned off eth0, but I cannot ping the wireless, I'll 
work on that it may be routing or it may be encryption.

Thanks all.
