Hi there!
I don't know why, but my ArchLinux system fails everytime I try to connect to any wlan access points. Neither my smartphone's wlan hotspot is working nor my home network.
I even tried wicd, netcfg and wicd and NetworkManager even without protection everything fails...
Wired LAN runs without any problems. Can you please help?
Thank you...

EDIT: The error which netcfg tells me is "WPA Authentication/Association Failed"

More info pls... It's encrypted network? If you are trying to connect via wicd what it's saying (validating autentification, getting IP, etc.)? What's your wifi card? etc etc
