wifi wlan0 - Access Point: Not-Associated

Edit: Go to last post

Could sameone tell me what files are in /etc/network.d directory?

And what is in this file... I lost my network profile and I need config files to setup it again.

Thanks

If you reinstall the package that owns the directory, it will put all the default files back.  I'm fairly sure it's the netcfg package (can't check, as I'm at work) so:

# pacman -S netcfg

iwconfig wlan0, with no additional arguments, displays the current status of the wlan0 interface. If you want to establish a connection, you need to specify the SSID etc. See man iwconfig for further details.

If you have lost your network profile, do as advised above i.e. reinstall netcfg, and recreate your profile using one of the examples in /etc/network.d/ as a template.
