[Solved] Cannot connect to wireless

So I'm trying to connect to wireless but I'm having trouble. It seems to happen no matter what wireless network I try to connect to. I open up wifi-menu and select the network I want to connect to, but I get an error:

Job for netctl@wlp1s0\x2dTSC.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wlp1s0\x2dTSC.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details

However, looking at those seems to not really give an indication as to what's going on. Here they are:

systemctl status netctl@wlp1s0\x2dTSC.service:

* netctl@wlp1s0x2dTSC.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp1s0x2dTSC
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)

journalctl -xn:

I did a pacman -Syu last night. There wasn't any news on the website that mentioned any updates that might affect the wireless. Otherwise, everything was working fine previously. I can't think of any other changes I've made.

So I'm really not sure what's going on. Any thoughts?

Re: [Solved] Cannot connect to wireless

So I decided to just go down the docs in the wiki step by step regarding wireless and netctl. From the netctl page, I did:

systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlp1s0.service

and then it started working again. I don't know why it stopped working, but it appears to be up and running now.
