So I had Wicd installed, got rid of it, followed the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
Ive got the applet in the notification panel, when I click it I get:
Wired Network
disconnected
Wireless Network
disconnected
- Available -
MyAPNothing happens if I click on MyAP and it stays disconnected, If I right click the applet icon and edit connections, go to the wireless tab, choose the AP, edit settings, put in the password and everything, it doesnt save it and it still doesnt connect.
Any ideas?
Im trying to get Networkmanager running instead of Wicd as im also planning to use it for the "Mobile Broadband" section later on.

I know it's not much help but it works ok on my install. All I can think of is gnome-keyring installed? I don't know if it's required but I've got it installed and the problem you're having sounds like it's related to permissions/access.
Other than that is there anything in the /var/logs?

I tried with gnome-keyring too, didnt seem to make any difference.
This is from daemon.log, dont know which others I should look at.

Try logging in as root and seeing if networkmanager works.
Your problem may well be linked to the recent consolekit update (0.4.1 -> 0.4.3) which seems to have broken some things for a few of us, such as networkmanager and other privilege requiring features provided by consolekit.
