Maybe you could comment an how you try to establish the connection. I usually prefer to use the NetworkManager. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager base package is "networkmanager", for Gnome: "network-manager-applet" for KDE: "kdeplasma-applets-plasma-nm" I think (but I am unsure) you should stop all netctl services running before trying the following commands. Start the daemon (cases are correct this way): # systemctl start NetworkManager.service If you wanna use cli: List of devices: # nmcli con list Connect: # nmcli dev wifi connect <name> password <password> If it is working enable the daemon on boot: # systemctl enable NetworkManager.service Best wishes, Max
