Connection issues after install
I just finished installing Arch on my Lenovo y410p laptop (1tb hdd, 8gb RAM, Intel hd 4600 AND Nvidia GeForce 755M graphics).
I have installed with XFCE desktop.
My problem is I cannot maintain a network connection, wireless or wired. dhcpcd IS running. The network manager is finding my networks, it just cannot connect to them.
I followed the instructions found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup
firmware is installed, wireless card is discovered, dhcpcd is running. As far as I can tell, everything SHOULD be working, but it is not.
Can anyone help me fix this?

Re: Connection issues after install
For meaningful diagnostic information, please follow the manual connection steps on the page you linked to. First stop any running network service, and walk through those steps. Post their output here, as well as information about which card you have and which drivers you are using.

Re: Connection issues after install
you are talking about posting dozens of lines of code. Since I cannot connect on that machine, I would have to manually enter them all. So please just tell me EXACTLY which lines you would need.

Re: Connection issues after install
You can pipe the output to a log file, save it to a flash drive, and move it to another computer. But if it's not worth your effort to provide information then I guess I can't help.

Re: Connection issues after install
This may be silly, but have you tried simply restarting your modem and/or router, then try connecting again?

Re: Connection issues after install
Sorry it took me so long to get back to this.
I did resolve the issue, which is why I did not provide the requested info. The problem was the firmware version. The installed version was incorrect for my card. After installing the correct one, it works perfectly!
