[solved] Auto connection to wi-fi problem in ArchLinux 2013

hi all
so i have problem with my fresh installation of archlinux 2013 in my new laptop. I have arch 2011 on my old machine and work fine. but hire i have problem with connection to wifi as normal user. I install everything + KDE with official guide, and now i try configure wifi connection... so i have wicd like on my old computer, and i have Netcfg + wpa_supplicant. now i try detting everything togrther to work. So now when i login to my account i need open terminal and as root typing:

wifi-menu wlp6s0

i dont knoe why this is some crazy interface not standard wlan0, can i change this ?

ok then i chice my network from list and get answer

:: wlp6s0-mynetwork up                                                                                     [ BUSY ] 
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant                                                                                    [ DONE ]

and sfter this Wicd connected automaticly to my wifi network, but if i go for example to my friends i cant connect to other network, when i try do this in wicd, i click for network (secured or not) and wicd try connected i see connection succes but after 1 sec disconneted... so i realy dont know how resolv this, i not super specialist and i dont wanna make mess in fresh system.

thanks

wicd and netcfg should not be running at the same time.

If you want the old naming of the network interfaces, you need to mask 80-net-name-slot.rules.

If you want to use wicd, you have to uninstall or disable netcfg. wpa_supplicant has to be installed, but the services have to be disabled. It will be managed with wicd and not systemd.

ok, so i just firs disable netcfg, and testing, nothing change, next i uninstall netcfg, nothing change, finaly i uninstall wpa_supplicant, wicd, netcfg, i delete all profile from network.d, restart computer, install just wicd, wpa_supplicant was install automaticly because this is depending, and after this i restart computer, and same problem, i cant connnect to any network, when i click for exapmple for my network or any open, and click CONNECT, i se progress, wicd try connect but after connection i see Disconnected hmmm this is some problem a think with permision but i dont know where is problem. Maybe i should uninstall wicd, wpa_supplicant, netcfg and delete all data but where is storage ? i know only network.d folder.

Thanks

I find solutions, but if somebody explaian for me wy that solution work that gonna by be very helpful for me.

I just remove "dhcpcd" service from autostart and now work , but for me dhcpcd should work any time ?
