Yesterday I powered on my computer only to discover that the wireless connection was no longer working. Here are some facts:
"iwlist scan" is showing all networks correctly
so is "nmcli con list"
while nm-applet is not
a wired connection is working perfectly (and nm-applet shows it)
there were no package upgrades on the day it stopped working
nm-applet displays errors like this on the console:
* (nm-applet:1135): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'Flags' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint/1033: (19) Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't existPlease assist.

If I google the error your getting it seems this a known bug. I recommend uninstalling networkmanager, purging networkmanager config files and then reinstalling. Also, networkmanager is out of date on Arch -- probably won't be for long but the new release may have fixed your bug.

All I could google were relatively old bug reports and problems always appeared after upgrade of packages. Could you please point me to the reports you found?
Anyway, I tried your suggestions and it didn't help, but before that it worked for a few minutes and stopped again. It's very frustrating that it started happen for no reason, if I wanted that kind of "surprises", I would use Windows...
I assume it's not a hardware problem since the scanning itself is fine. But maybe I'm wrong. I will try the latest NetworkManager.
Thanks for help.
EDIT: The latest NetworkManager did not help either. I have uninstalled it and installed wicd, it's working great.
