Getting wireless up and running under gnome3

I installed arch linux and it boots up to gnome3 successfully. The only issue is that I can't connect to my wireless network card. It's an intel 7265 card which also has bluetooth. I'm not sure whether it's because I lack the drivers or not, but not even the network-applet is showing on the gnome panel. I've copied and edited the wireless-wpa file and followed the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … f_profiles. I get this error message when I run

netctl start wireless-wpa

ob for netctl@wireless\x2dwpa.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status "netctl@wireless\\x2dwpa.service"" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

So I run [code]systemctl status "netctl@wireless\\x2dwpa.service"[/code] and the output is:

● netctl@wireless\x2dwpa.service - Networking for netctl profile wireless-wpa
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl@.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

Jun 01 21:32:15 elu51v3 systemd[1]: netctl@wireless\x2dwpa.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Then I run

journalctl -xe | tail

and get this output:

Before I installed arch linux, I used wifi-menu to connect to my network and that ran successfully. Currently I'm using Android tethering to get internet, but I really want to get my laptop's wireless network sorted. How do I connect to my wireless network?

Re: Getting wireless up and running under gnome3

not even the network-applet is showing on the gnome panel.

If you are wanting to use the network-manager-applet in gui have you installed networkmanager & network-manager-applet? or are you wanting to stay with netctl?
