This is a clean install on a ASUS 1018pb netbook:
I am trying to get my wireless networking setup before I install X. I have installed and configured networkmanager and cnetworkmanager. I have also added my username to the networkmanager group. I"m currently having two issues:
1. when I run (as user) cnetworkmanager -C "myssid" --wpa-pass "my passphrase", I get the following error mesage
Traceback (Most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cnetworkmanager", line 283, in <module>

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection "1:8" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file
2. when I run the above command as root, I get the following:
Entering mainloop
(13:19:08) State: CONNECTING
(13:19:16) State: CONNECTED
_ {flashing cursor}
I don't get a command prompt back.
If I open another terminal, I can work as normal.
I would like to get this resolved before I install X and the GNOME applet. I'll be using openbox.
Thanks,

Hi. Not exactly a solution, but I had the same exact error and eventually gave up and just used the gnome networkmanager app instead (running xfce tho). To install stuff from pacman, I connected manually to my wifi until I set networkmanager up:

Thanks. I'm connected via ethernet at the moment. I'll install the GNOME applet when I get openbox running.

Another temporary solution is to install wicd and use the ncurses interface without X.

I've installed openbox and the GNOME applet and everthing works as long as I enter a X session. I can then open another CLI (using ctr+alt+2) and I have wireless from the command prompt. Not exactly what I wanted, but it works.
I'll mark this as resolved.

I believe I've found a decent solution. Try running this command as root:
# cnetworkmanager -C "myssid" --wpa-pass "my passphrase" &
The '&' at the end of the command should make it so after the connection is made the prompt will return. However, I had the same result as you:
Entering mainloop
(13:19:08) State: CONNECTING
(13:19:16) State: CONNECTED
_ {flashing cursor}
Nonetheless, when I ^c (Control-C) and then type in
# ifconfig -a
my wireless interface is both up and connected. All I know is it works.
