Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Arch linux but i'm enjoying it so far. However one problem im having with my install on my Macbook Air is the Wifi.
I can use wifi-menu to scan for available APs but when i try to connect I get the following error.
Job for netctl@wlp3s0\x2dBTHub5\x2dZCJ9.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status "netctl@wlp3s0\\x2dBTHub5\\x2dZCJ9.service"" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
If i check systemctl status for the wifi device I get the following
[root@archie ~]# systemctl status "netctl@wlp3s0\\x2dBTHub5\\x2dZCJ9.service"
* netctl@wlp3s0\x2dBTHub5\x2dZCJ9.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp3s0-BTHub5-ZCJ9

I installed the broadcom-wl-dkms driver as per the macbook wiki using yaourt. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms/

forgot to mention that I can connect to the Wifi from other devices and I've double and triple checked my wifi key

after setting up the Wifi manually it seems to work.
Read through the wpa_supplicant page, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant, and that solved my problems.
