Hi everybody.
I'm a brand new Arch user, and loving it all so far, except that I can't seem to get my home wifi network to connect properly. Frustratingly, I do not have access to the router, it's shared with my building, so I can't change the encryption settings or try a wired connection. I eventually went to the library to set up my system, and at this point am positive it all works relatively well, just not at home.
It seems like this particular card is a bit of a problem child. As suggested here I've compiled and installed the backported module for 3.16-rc-1, and now using netctl-auto I can connect to and switch between all the public networks I've tried, including my iPhone personal hotspot. The connection isn't phenomenal, but it's more than functional. But when connecting to my home router, everything looks okay, netctl doesn't complain at all, I can obtain an IP address just fine, but I'm not receiving (or even sending, I don't think) any packets at all. Windows 7 on the same box has no problems with it.
What am I missing here? Everything I've thought to check, both setting it up manually and using netctl, looks the same between using this problematic network and my phone network or the public networks. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance. Let me know if I put this in the wrong place, I'll move it!

Hi, did you solve the problem? I'm struggling with the same issue, furthermore I even have 2 Archlinux systems on my laptop(first with working wireless and the send with a broken one). All packages on the both systems are up to date. But the last installed (the broken one) drops wireless as soon as link is established. It happens every every time with every wlan I try. Sure, I can just try replace every single file and eventually find out which one causes the problem, but this is too much for me.
