I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
It's driving me crazy. I've been using Arch since 2007 and NEVER had this much of a problem with something so seemingly simple ...
[edit]
Removed wl. Leftover from earlier attempt to fix this. Still doesn't work.
[edit2]
I was using Wicd and Wicd-curses before, but it only worked intermittently and crashed a LOT while complaining about dbus. But it did work sometimes!
[edit3]
Okay, I don't know what the hell I did now, but it was right. It works now. Flawlessly. Minus a complaint about ipv6, but I don't care. It works. With the internal driver using netcfg.
[edit4]
So anyone researching the Acer Aspire One D255E for use with Arch Linux will know: When putting the internal wireless into monitor mode with aircrack, it will be stuck on channel -1 unless you install the compat-wireless-patched package from the AUR. Just figured this out. Do not probe any modules in /etc/rc.conf for the wifi to work, the kernel will handle it with its internal BRCM drivers. The ethernet card is module r8169
