EDIT: It seems my problem is just this: I installed netctl and I have started it using systemd. When I write sudo wifi-menu -o, and try to connect to my wireless network using the correct password (I've tried many times), it just instantly tells me "CONNECTING FAILED" - without any apparent waiting for the router to respond, although I don't know.
Edit: I tried NetworkManager as well, and connecting via nmtui, it says "Could not activate connection: Activation failed"... Help.

I was using connman on my desktop until a recent system upgrade where it only said "Input/output error" when I tried to connect to wireless networks. I installed the packages netctl, ifplugd and wpa_actiond and read a bit about netctl on arch wiki. With `wifi-menu -o` I generated a profile in /etc/netctl for my wireless network. I called the profile "31". I have enabled and started netctl using systemctl. I also wrote `sudo netctl enable 31`. Now, when I write `sudo netctl start 31`, I get this error:
$ sudo netctl start 31
Job for netctl@31.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@31.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
$ systemctl status netctl@31

Edit: Shamefully.. I was a bit too fast to post. I read this just when I posted and it worked!
Edit 2: Rebooted and still the same problem. journalctl -xn says nothing about network errors.
Edit 3: Rebooted, and ran journalctl -xn as super user. It now gave relevant information:
# journalctl -xn

The router uses wpa2.

Same problem here. Seriously, the team's arch have to see what the hell is wrong with the packages that are responsible for the wireless system.
