Can't connect to wireless when I dual boot

I have a WPA2 wireless connection at home. I can login just fine on Windows but I can't login on Arch Linux. The password is correct and  I find this really weird. Please help.

Re: Can't connect to wireless when I dual boot

Do you mean you don't have wireless anymore after a reboot from windows? If so, try rfkill to see if it got softblocked somehow.

That is exactly not what I meant.

I do have wireless. But it won't connect to my wireless router, yet it does on my Windows partition. I just booted to Arch Linux to get my dmesg.. This is some relevant parts:

Re: Can't connect to wireless when I dual boot

So it has nothing to do with dualboot really... How do you try to connect?
