It's my only issue left!
SO FAR I LOVE ARCH LINUX IT ROCKSSSSSSSSSSS BEST DISTRO EVER but implies many hours of work BUT IT IS SOOOOOOOO WORTH IT

Now, everytime I login I got to type my password to connect to my wifi. How can I avoid that

I use Openbox

Have you thought about using wicd, much easier than networkmanager

Could not connect to wicd's D-Bus interface. Check the wicd log for error messages is the error I get.
In the wiki @ http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wic … or_message
It says to try
pacman -R wicd
rm -rf /etc/wicd /var/log/wicd /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd*
pacman -S wicd

but it didn't solved the problem & my .xinitrc is properly configured:exec ck-launch-session openbox-session

I assume D-bus is installed, or you could try netcfg

dbus must not only be installed, it must also be running. In contrast to, for example, the hal rc.d script, the wicd startup script does not automatically start dbus.

So add dbus and after that wicd to your DAEMONS array in rc.conf so dbus is running when wicd attempts to start.

Or you could update the start case in the wicd start script to look something like this:

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting wicd Daemon"
    ck_daemon dbus && /etc/rc.d/dbus start  # Start dbus if not already running
    pkill -f wicd-daemon.py &> /dev/null
    /usr/sbin/wicd &> /dev/null
    add_daemon wicd
    stat_done
    ;;
