[solved]cant connect to wireless-lan via netctl using a wireless stick

hello,

i created a netctl profile for my wireless network, but when trying to start it, i get the following error:

sudo netctl start wirelss-connection 
[sudo] password for lizzy: 
Job for netctl@wirelss\x2dconnection.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wirelss\x2dconnection.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

my journalctl -xn output looks like that:

journalctl -xn
