Hello. I currently have been facing problems with my wireless. I wrote about them in the following post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58901
So, my question is: Is there a an easy way to get a graphical way to search and connect to networks, no matter WEP or WPA encryption? Also, if not, then is it possible to embed Ubuntu's wireless client into Arch?

Take a look at wicd, there is a wiki entry about it.

ubuntu uses networkmanager and the nm-applet. I think it is available in Arch.

wicd and wicd-client is much better + you don't need any gnome dependencies

followed wiki's instructions, loaded wicd-client, found my network, when connecting get stuck on obtaining ip adress.
my guess is dhcp problems....router works fine. when trying to manually connect to network:
sudo ifocnfig eth1 down
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid draze key aaaaaa123
sudo dhcpcd eth1
err, eth1: timed out
warn, eth1: using IPV4LL address 169.254.145.57

Some people are having problems with the dhcpd-package. Remove it and use dhclient to see if that works. The devs are building new versions of dhcpd and are trying numerous possible problems.

my /etc/network.d/draze :
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=eth1
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="draze"
KEY="whatever"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20
when entering 'netcfg draze'
::draze up - DHCP IP lease attempt failed [FAIL]

Install dhclient
remove dhcpcd
add
DHCLIENT="yes"
to your profile
and try again. These changes are really easy to revert if your problem is still not solved.

Is your router running the dhcp service for your wireless? Try without any encryption and see if it works. Also select the appropriate option on wicd, for wep you have three options select the correct one.
