I have got myself in a right mess. I installed Arch yesterday and everything was fine but today I couldn't connect to my WiFi.
I run sudo wifi-menu and then attempt to connect to A517 but I get this message.
Job for netctl@A517.service failed. See `systemctl status netctl@A517.service` and `journalctl -xn` for details
The errors for the latter command is:
DHCP IPv4 lease attempt failed on interface `wlps2s0`
brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcmsmac: brcms_ops_bass_info_changed: disassociated
brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bass_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
Failed to bring the network up for profile `A517`
Failed to start Networking for netctl profile A517
Apologies for the layout and lack of info I am on a tablet typing (hence no output for the first coomand) these errors out. I have tried everything on the wiki but it has got to the point where I do not want to make this situation worse.
Any help appreciated,
José

So I try again for the nth time and this time it works.

~Any ideas as to why it didn't connect, how I can solve it and how I can avoid this problem in the future?

The problem popped up again so I decided to disable netctl and installed networkmanager.
No problems since.
