Let's try wpa_supplicant. Take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant. I suggest trying wpa_cli. Let me let you read that. I'll be back in a little while. I've still a couple hours before I pack it in for the night.

I would like to test wicd to see if it works but i can't install it with pacman its giving me the error
...
Any pointers?
I like (and use) wicd.
Clean out your cache with pacman -Scc, then try to install wicd.
I suggest you try my my previous post first. I like to work through problems rather than skip around.
I've ran
sudo wifi-menu wlp3s0
and it runs fine but gives me a message at the end saying that it failed to connect. I've been trying to connect to an unsecured network
Okay, one step at a time. Stop dhcpcd, Stop netcfg. I assume you don't have wicd or NetworkManger installed, let alone running.
Then, try (as root) iwconfig wlp3s0 essid yourAccessPointSSID
Wait a few seconds, and then look at the output of just iwconfig
See what it says about your access point:
ewaller@odin:~ 1004 %iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

Notice that my card is associated with the ESSID for my AP. If it is, the MAC address of your access point will be displayed. I have redacted most of mine for security.
If you are associated, you still won't have internet access. if you are associated, do (as root) dhcpcd wlp3s0
See if it gives you an address. If not, post the output of all of the above commnads.

I've done everything that any other forum post has specified including setting every
SigLevel = TrustAll
then updating pacman with
sudo pacman -Syyu
and I've ran
sudo pacman-key --init --populate archlinux
I also tried downloading it from the AUR site and installing it from the PGKBUILD
Any pointers?
]]>Thread is here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158863
look at my above post again too.
Best of luck
]]>sudo systemctl stop dhcpcd
sudo wifi-menu
EDIT: Try writing your own profile for netcfg. Here's the wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg
The example configs are in /etc/network.d/examples
I'm guessing you would use the wireless-open as your example.
Then try connecting using netcfg
netcfg <your_network>
sudo wifi-menu wlp3s0
and it runs fine but gives me a message at the end saying that it failed to connect. I've been trying to connect to an unsecured network
