knetworkmanager kde3 (kdemod)

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to set up my wireless connection, but i think i need some help...

what i did:
i mainly followed this tutorial
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

$ pacman -S networkmanager
$ pacman -S kdemod3-kdenetwork-knetworkmanager-svn        # -svn is the 64 bit version i read somewhere, its the gui

then i changed my rc.conf to this

eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
WLAN_INTERFACES=(!wlan0)

and my DAEMONS section looks like that now

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network @ifplugd netfs hal networkmanager fam alsa @crond cpufreq)

then added this file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
and those lines

[main]
plugins = keyfile

[keyfile]
hostname = <curumo> #curumo is my host name, should i leave yout "<>"?

then

gpasswd -a markus network #markus is my username

then installed consolekit and created the following file  /etc/pam.d/kde
and added this line

session    optional    pam_ck_connector.so

last thing i did:

sudo polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify --user "Ymarkus"

so now the problem:
after starting the gui (knetworkmanager) and i rightclick on it, ther are the following possibilities:
Neue Verbindung... (new connection)
Deaktiviere Verbindung -> wechsle in Offline-Modus (disconnect -> change to offline-mode)
Configure Notifications
Bearbeite Verbindungen (change connections) sorry i have the german version installed, so the translation might be not correct

if i click on "new connection" nothing happens
if i change to offline modus, cable networking still works
then i set up a new wireless connetion via "change connections" (bearbeite verbindungen) i type in my essid (dlink)
i have no wireless protection activated cause i deactivated it at the router just for testing, i didnt cross static ip, cause i want to use dhcp,
then i typed in a name vor the connection, and clicked on save and connect, but nothing happens.

---> i cant get a wireless connection, and even if i go to the offline modus the wired connection always works, can anybody help me?


€: iwlist wlan0 scan   shows the router, also if i use wpa1/2

Re: knetworkmanager kde3 (kdemod)

You probably should leave out "<>", did you actually write "Ymarkus" in the last command?

Do you use KDE3 or KDE4?
