Problem connecting to wireless after upgrade

Hi, I've upgraded system yesterday with "pacman -Syu". Everything seems to work except I have trouble connecting to internet.

I have the same profile as before:

Description='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
Interface=wlo1
Connection=wireless

Security=wpa
IP=dhcp

ESSID='MyWLAN'
ForceConnect=yes

I tried:

sudo ip link set wlo1 down
sudo netctl start myProfile
sudo netctl status myProfile

And I get

The WPA supplicant did not start for interface 'wlo1'
Failed to bring the network up for profile 'myProfile'
netctl@myProfile.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=
netctl@myProfile.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Failed to start A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection.

I tried generating wpa_supplicant conf file with psk and enabling wpa_supplicant for wlo1, but to no avail.
What DOES work is following steps:
1. sudo netctl start myProfile (status still gives the error)
2. Disable and then Enable Wireless from the GUI (GNOME3 btw)
3. It asks me for an OS password
4. Asks me for wireless password (the one from profile)
5. Connects after a while

After reboot, I have to redo the steps again.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Problem connecting to wireless after upgrade

Anyone knows where the problem is? It is really frustrating to do manual connect on each boot.
