[Fixed] NetworkManager problem

I installed Arch today using wifi-menu without any problem, so WiFi works. The problem is that NetworkManager is installed, runs (with KDE plasmoid), but WiFi doesn't work.

[wicu@arch ~]$ nmcli nm enable true

** (process:15494): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service' for details.

[wicu@arch ~]$ nmcli nm wifi on

NetworkManager doesn't recognise 3G modem.

I've got new laptop which ethernet card drivers alx-driver is currently in AUR, but after installation dkms can't load it into kernel.

Previously I was working on Bridge Linux, but changes with consolekit made a real mess in that installation. In Bridge I've got the same problem with NetworkManger, so I posted here a topic but it went to trash because Bridge Linux is not Arch. Now I hope that it won't end in trash as I'm on fresh installation of Arch.

Re: [Fixed] NetworkManager problem

What a shame… I've read again NM Wiki, fixed systemd support and now it works…
