'Failed to bring network up' wireless ath5k [SOLVED]

After a fresh install I tried to connect to my wireless network using
netctl, which resulted in the following error:

netctl status wlp0s6

● netctl@wlp0s6\x2dWLAN\x2d50114.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp0s6-WLAN-50114

So I looked into journalctl -xn

Nothing new here hmm

After that I tried ip link set wlp0s6 up, which spew out this error:

RTNETLINK answers:  Operation not possible due to RF-kill

From here on, I don't really know what to do.

Re: 'Failed to bring network up' wireless ath5k [SOLVED]

Nevermind, got it working.

It seems I just forgot to type the rest of the clunky auto-generated network profile name. big_smile

Thanks for the quick help nonetheless!
