Can't connect to wireless after pacman -Syu

There are loads of wireless related questions on this forum and I'm sorry I have to add to them but I've had a look and couldn't find any posts similar to this issue so I'd thought I post this thread.

I pacman'd ealier to update my laptop, installing the new kernel, netcfg and the rt2500 drivers for the new kernel. But now I can't connect to my router wirelessly. If I'm reading the log right, it seems to be authenticating and associating with the router, but then disconnects by itself. Here is the relevent part of everything.log

Oct 15 11:37:25 mario ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Oct 15 11:37:26 mario wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1f:9f:15:34:33

Oct 15 11:37:37 mario wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
Oct 15 11:37:46 mario wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)

Can anyone shed some light on this? It's quite annoying! Thanks!

Please provide more info. Netcfg-config, information on the wireless network, wireless profile etc.

Re: Can't connect to wireless after pacman -Syu

It's a WPA network, running off a Thomson TG585v7.

/etc/network.d/networkwpa :

CONNECTION="wireless"
DESCRIPTION="Home Network"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="MYNETWORK"
KEY="MYKEY"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20

Relevent /etc/rc.conf :

INTERFACES=(lo)
NETWORKS=(ethernet networkwpa)

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

If I do try to connect it just gives the following error and logs what I put in my previous post.

[steve@mario ~]$ sudo netcfg networkwpa
:: networkwpa up  - Wireless association failed.

As I said, everything was working fine until I updated.

edit: moved my post to a separate thread since it seems to be a different problem
