Good attempt on the code blocks, but you need to use square brackets (ie [ and ]).

For a good reference, you can simply click the BBCode button below the text box and it will bring up a new window/tab with all the proper ways of doing stuffs.

Edit: Also reading through the list of commands you specfied, it would seem as though it is not your wireless that is broken, but network manager. This is because you are still apparently using initscripts. Please read the news.

Thanks for your answer. But i think wpa_supplicant is my problem. because first must stop and run again.
i must read which news?

where to find my arch uses systemd or initscript?

pacman -Ss init | grep installed

core/kmod 10-2 [installed]
core/mkinitcpio 0.11.0-1 [installed]
core/mkinitcpio-busybox 1.20.2-1 [installed]
core/sysvinit 2.88-9 [installed]
core/sysvinit-tools 2.88-9 [installed]
extra/at-spi2-core 2.6.1-1 [installed]
extra/initscripts 2012.10.1-1 [installed]
extra/mozilla-common 1.4-3 [installed]
extra/xorg-xinit 1.3.2-3 [installed]

pacman -Ss systemd | grep installed

core/systemd 195-2 [installed]
extra/initscripts 2012.10.1-1 [installed

and this is my rc.conf

# /etc/rc.conf - configuration file for initscripts
#
# Most of rc.conf has been replaced by various other configuration
# files. See archlinux(7) for details.
#
# For more details on rc.conf see rc.conf(5).

Look at the output of ps -ef. If PID 1 is /sbin/init, you are running systemd.

You can also see if systemd is running by looking at the services reported by systemctl
