Strange wireless behavior
Greetings!
The problem that made me get out of the read-only mode is following: while installing the distro through my home wifi using wifi-menu (netctl) everything works like a charm.
But as soon as I boot into the installed system I can't connect to that very access point. It's just not visible to my laptop while all other networks is on the list.
Chroot back - and it's there!
I've trided wicd, netctl, networkmanager (preliminarily disabling and unistalling prevous network maneger) all with same result: it shows to me all available access points around exept mine.
Please contribute.

Re: Strange wireless behavior
Hey,
I've experienced this multiple times with a specific dongle on several different systems and architectures. The first wifi connection i make works great and as soon as i reboot i'll never get wifi ever again.
In my case it's driver related, the default rtl8xxxu driver doesn't do great with my dongle.
I fix it by blacklisting rtl8xxxu and installing rtl8192eu, see https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver
I have a specific PKGBUILD i use to fix this, which takes care of installing everything with dkms and setup the automatic thingy to rebuild it each time it's needed when the kernel updates: https://github.com/xse/rtl8192eu-dkms-git
So i'd suspect a similar issue in your case, maybe we can get more informations about your wifi hardware and the driver used.
Have a good day!

Carefully explaining your problem is half the solution.
