NetCfg Not working at school until I reboot

I use netcfg with arch assistant and for the most part it works great, but when I am at school it sometimes wont connect and i will have to restart before it will connect.  I dont know if it has to do with different APs serving the same ssid or something?  I have tried to restart network daemon as well as arch assistant but this does not allow me to connect, only after a full reboot will it connect again.

Will netcfg work independently of arch assistant or do you have to reboot for that as well?

"netcfg2 main" where main is the name of your profile.

Re: NetCfg Not working at school until I reboot

did you restart net-profiles instead of network?
/etc/rc.d/net-profiles restart

Re: NetCfg Not working at school until I reboot

I'll have to try the net profiles restart, but I have tried netcfg2 from the terminal.  I will be at school tomorrow so I can try it out, but why would it be doing this in the first place.  Should I switch to gnome-network manager?  Is that easier or more reliable than netcfg2?  It's kinda a pain when I am roaming across networks so often.
