This is my first time setting up Arch after getting sick of Kubuntu. I'm quite impressed by its speed. I've managed to set up nearly everything correctly, except for my wi-fi card. I have no idea how to get WPA to work with my ipw2200. Unsecured networks work just fine, but when I try to connect to my wpa-psk secured router I get this:

Does anyone have any ideas? Here are the relevant sections of my /etc/rc.conf:

have you tried explicitly setting things using iwconfig
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ACTUAL_ESSID
sudo iwconfig eth1 key ACTUAL_KEY
sudo dhcpcd -n eth1
ping ACTUAL_ROUTERLast edited by sykesm (2007-07-14 10:24:22)

It seems you don't know shit about wireless. iwconfig can only set up static keys (WEP), WPA needs to negotiate keys dynamically.
About the actual problem: It seems to be a dbus issue:
NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_dbus_get_user_key_for_network_cb(): nm_dbus_get_user_key_for_network_cb(): dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo was not provided by any .service filesIs knetworkmanager (or whatever that tool is called) running? Does it ask for the psk? That is what I don't like about networkmanager: you need a GUI tool to make it work.

Yes, that works (I use WEP, forgot to mention that). But the problem is not making the connection work, but making it work _with NetworkManager_.
Is knetworkmanager (or whatever that tool is called) running? Does it ask for the psk? That is what I don't like about networkmanager: you need a GUI tool to make it work.
Yes, knetworkmanager is running, but it does not ask for the key.
BTW, I completely agree with you about the dependence on GUI. But still, using NetworkManager is very comfortable.

It works now, after I have installed gnome-network-manager, with all its dependencies.
