WiFi - Realtek RTL8188CUS

Hey guys.

I have this laptop with a wireless USB card that is soddered internally that is a RTL8188CUS (found with lsusb command).

With my Arch installation i cannot access any wifi, but in distros like eOS i can.
Can it be a kernel level problem?

sorry for my bad english.
Thanks

I don't know why it wouldn't autoload, but theoretically it should be using the rtl8192cu module.  Can you modprobe it to get the device working?

It's loaded.

Funny thing. I can connect easily to an Android Hotspot or into my home wifi. But in my college i have two wifi ssid's to connect to. Neither work. But i find it a bit confusing, becouse with eOS i can connect sucessfully. Right now i'm using Saucy's kernel (3.11) on eOS. I dont know if it helps.

I really loved having arch on my laptop. Its so much freedom.. and updated.. and easy!
