I'v just installd Arhc on my new Lenovo G585. Evrything works fine, excep when I try to activate the wireless interface it doesn't do anything.

Okay, the good news is that your wireless is working. I see two access points that are about the same distance from you: NEteger and vladiviki, and then two more that are further away (one has unicode in its name, the other is called airlive)
NEteger looks like an open AP; vladiviki seems to use WEP.
So, what are we trying to do, and with which network do you want to associate?
Also, how do you plan to manage your wireless? netctl? netcfg? wicd?

I am trying to connect to NEteger, maybe with netctl, but anything will do as long as it works.

You dis not mention whether you had set up netctl for NEteger. Make sure you have worked through this netctl wiki article.
Either that, or use wicd in accordance with this wicd wiki article

Sorry I forgot to metion that I did set up netctl for NEteger. I tried again, /etc/netctl/neteger:
Description='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection'
Interface=wlp7s0
Connection=wireless
Security=wep
IP=dhcp
ESSID='NEteger'
# Prepend hexadecimal keys with \"
# If your key starts with ", write it as '""<key>"'
# See also: the section on special quoting rules in netctl.profile(5)
Key='**********\"'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#Hidden=yes

Two questions. Are you sure NEteger is wep encrypted? I cannot tell.
If it is, lets take a look at that key. I assume you redacted the key, because that key is, well, wrong.
If it is a clear text key, it should be of the form key='mySecret'
If it is a hexadecimal key, it should only have a leading '"' and should be of the form: key='\"deadbeaf0102eaff' Only hex digits, no closing double quote, correct number of digits for your WEP implementation.
If I may, if that is your router, you should consider changing to wpa2.

It's not my router, but I'm sure its encrypted. English is not my mother tounge, and prepend is a complicated word, I didn't understand that I changed /etc/netctl/neteger, but still the same result.:)

English is not my mother tounge,
I figured as much. Not because of your English (which is fine, by the way), but because of the regulatory domain in the wireless scan
I need to step away for a few hours. In the mean time, you might consider trying wicd. Stat wicd, then open the nice wicd-gtk GUI and see if you can connect that way. If you don't have an X environment, there is a good curses interface, as well.
If you get that working, and still want to use netctl, we can work on that some more.

Ok I'll definily try wicd. Thanks.
Offline
wicd could connect to NEteger with WEP, and its working fine. I think I'll stick with wicd. Thanks again.
