Hey, guys.
I cann't connect to WIFI using NetworkManager in Gnome 3 since a few days ago. Neither can I in the terminal using netctl.
And journalctl -xe says 'WPA association/authentication failed'.
I searched and found some people met the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution that worked for me.
Accidentally, I fount that after stoping NetworkManager (systemctl stop NetworkManager), I could connect to WIFI using netctl.
I found this solution when I did a first fresh installation of Arch on my office computer (I first met the problem on my personal computer).
So, it's the problem of NetworkManager? But it seems there isn't any people reporting this problem.
I wonder why does this problem arise and how could I get rid of it?
And have you met the same problem with NetworkManager?

Yes.
As a proof, when I run 'sudo netctl disable wlp3s0-PandoraBox', it says "No regular unit file found for profile 'wlp3s0-PandoraBox'". I have just this configuration.
And I did use netctl only after I failed in NetworkManager.

I have just recently switched away from NetworkManager in my GNOME setup and gone back to dhcpcd.service (it seems more in keeping with the Arch Way).
I had no problems with NetworkManager, but as JWR says you have to make sure all other network-related services are `disable`d (as well as `stop`ped)...

After I disabled dhcpcd.service, it worked!!!
So, if we want to use NetworkManager, we mustn't enable dhcpcd.service. It's amazing.
Thanks very much!
