connecting failed after install

viniosity · 2014-05-13 06:27:46

I was able to install Arch from the live cd but after reboot I run wifi-menu as root and after choosing the ssid it says "connecting failed".

I've also tried connecting to an SSID without a password in case it was the wpa_supplicant but that didn't work either.

I've also tried going through the beginner's guide to bring up wifi using ip link but that didn't work either.

I've confirmed the iwlwifi module is loaded but no idea where to go from here. Can anyone offer any help?

Some more detail around "didn't work" would be helpful: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC...

Turns out I had to force dhclient as mentioned in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/netctl

Not sure why this works from the live cd but not from a booted system...

Arch Linux
