Hi all!
I'm new to Arch Linux, but I have been using Ubuntu and other distros for a long time. Today I have installed Arch Linux in my laptop, and almost everything is running fine, but I'm having problems with networking. In my laptop I have attached a Conceptronic C300RC PCMCIA card. This card worked flawlessly in Ubuntu.
Using wired network, I have installed linux-firmware, networkmanager and network-manager-applet. It looks like nm-applet is running (I can see its process using ps), but in the notification area only the battery status icon is shown. Output to some (maybe useful) commands:
$ lsmod | grep rt
rt2800pci 7757 0
rt2800lib 36992 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00pci 4255 1 rt2800pci
rt2x00lib 31059 3 rt2x00pci,rt2800lib,rt2800pci
eeprom_93cx6 1044 1 rt2800pci
crc_ccitt 1095 1 rt2800lib
mac80211 203227 3 rt2x00lib,rt2x00pci,rt2800lib
cfg80211 147716 2 mac80211,rt2x00lib
parport_pc 26590 0
agpgart 22255 3 sis_agp,drm,ttm
parport 26259 2 parport_pc,ppdev
$ lspci | grep -i net
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91)
06:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2760 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R
I think the PCMCIA card is working (wlan0 interface is created), but I'd like to be able to use network manager to configure WiFi. Why isn't it working? Any suggestions?

did you change the daemons list in your rc.conf file?
nano /etc/rc.conf
your daemons list should look something like this
# DAEMONS
# -------
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus networkmanager bluetooth rpcbind nfs-common crond)
Note that the network daemon needs changed to networkmanager.

Thanks for help. You are right, I was not starting networkmanager. I changed network to networkmanager and still it wasn't working. Then I noticed I was starting networkmanager before dbus, changed the order and now it works perfect.
Again, thanks for help!

Don't forget to mark it as solved (by editing the first post) so that other people (including yourself sometimes) get to it more easily.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
