Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

My wireless was working during the installation of arch linux, but now won't connect to my wireless network.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

What kind of chipset is the wireless?  Do you have the firmware installed for it?  If not, boot off the LiveCD, arch-chroot into your installation so that you have internet and install the firmware.  The firmware might be in the AUR.  If you have access to a wired connection then it would be much easier to use that to get the firmware and/or troubleshooting.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

firmware

The linux firmware package is a dependency of the kernel and is installed as part of the base group

Are you sure that the password is correct?

Try connecting manually, post any error messages if it doesn't work:

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

My hardware did work on Ubuntu and works on arch, and it is at least detecting networks but not connecting to them. I have to plug my phone into the USB port to access the internet.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

Also, if you use more than one method to establish an internet connection then they will interfere with each other.  Say for example using dhcpcd@interface and wicd at the same time.  If you are using more than one method then disable them all and then do what Head_on_a_Stick said.

I've heard good things about Network Manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager for managing all your interfaces, wired and wireless.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

Ok. I will have a look at that. I never used to have that issue in Ubuntu.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

If you want the convenience of Ubuntu, you have come to the wrong place. Arch is a manual distro: you are in control, so you are expected to set everything up yourself.

The wiki documents everything you need; please make more of an effort to utilise it before posting here.

Re: Wireless worked during install, it's not working now

OK. I understand. I just want to get this thing working. I came to Arch Linux because of the easy to use AUR and because of the fact that Arch Linux is a rolling release. I been able to setup the GUI and Install Arch Linux from the command line. The wifi did work on the live CD though.
