I recently installed arch on my laptop. Everything went great and the OS seems to be working fine so far. I do have a problem with the NetworkManager always showing "connecting" as the connection status. I put that in quotes because the interenet connection seems to be working fine (I am using it to make this post).
I am using KDE, I installed and configured NetworkManager with the instructions posted on the wiki here.
As it stands this isn't a big deal itself. It just shows a small animation on my connection in my panel. What does happen, though, is that I have to manually connect to networks every time I reboot, I even have to click to connect to a wired connection. Which is annoying.
Could someone help me fix this problem? I thought it might have to with the fact that I had dhcpcd.service still enabled after installing NetworkManager. Disabling dhcpcd.service did resolve another issue (getting a NetworkManager disabled message on boot) but didn't fix this problem.

When I installed I used wifi-menu (wireless in my case) and after install networkmanager just enabled it via systemctl enable NetworkManager.service. This should work after boot already. Guess u have done the same otherwise it would not start at all. When u edit your connection, have u checked the box to connect automatically? I'm still a rook using the system but just calling the NM would not mean it'll in fact connect to you net automatically, unless u set it to do that. Or am I wrong?

Yes, I have check to connect automatically. And no, I don't think just calling NM will connect you to anything. However, after making it run at boot (as a systemd unit) and after connecting to a desired network, it should connect you automatically everytime after the first time set up. At least that is what I think.
