Problems getting wireless to work

I've been trying to setup netcfg for my wireless on my Lenovo Ideapad y430 laptop for about an hour now with no luck.  I've had wireless working before in a previous install of Arch on the same laptop, but for some reason I can't get it to work this time.

When I try to run netcfg I get this:

[keith@straypad ~]$ sudo netcfg BAADX
Password: 
:: BAADX up                                                              [BUSY] SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
 - Wireless association failed
                                                                         [FAIL]

iwconfig

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"BAADX"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

My wireless card is an Intel

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 1211
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 30
        Memory at f4500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: iwlagn
        Kernel modules: iwlagn

Here's my netcfg profile (random key for security reasons).

CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection"
INTERFACE="wlan0"
SECURITY="wep"
ESSID="BAADX"
