[SOLVED] Network Manager: Connecting...

Hello Arch Community!

After three months wihout any Arch System I have switched from Ubuntu back to Arch.
It seems that everything is working without any issues.
One of my little problem is the program NetworkManager. Under GNOME 3.8, MATE and all other desktop environment using it, it only shows "Connecting". It seems to be connected because I can access the internet over my WPA2 encrypted wireless network. I have activated it with systemctl enable NetworkManager.service and installed the applet with pacman -S network-manager-applet. Under Ubuntu it worked without any problems but under my three Arch systems (Raspberry Pi, Sony Vaio VPCF13E4E and Acer Aspire One 725) it only shows connecting. If I run an Arch based distro from a live USB it works there too so there could be something wrong configured. If I start the network manager applet via the terminal it shows no errors.
If you need more information please ask for it (it would be nice if you could tell me the Terminal command because I have forgotten many terminal commands while using Ubuntu ).

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have switched to Debian unstable (and stable on my Netbook) because next week school starts and I have no time to fix all my problems with Arch (I have no clue why I have those problems, because Arch worked always "out of the box" on my devices...).
Thanks for the great time with Arch and the great Arch community. I think Debian is also a good choice and with backports I can have the newest software on Debian stable.
