[solved] dhcpcd: timed out after reinstalling arch

Hi erveryone!

After reinstalling arch I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.

Typed:

wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf
dhcpcd wlan0

Got:

dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out

wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf (ssid and psk deleted):

network={
    ssid=""
    proto=RSN
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    psk=
}

I reinstalled arch on my netbook at the same time and there's everything working fine (even with the same wireless-card). The only difference between the two systems is that my laptop has an i686 installation while on my netbook I've installed x86_64.

Things I've tried:
+ Update the system via wired-connection (mirrors.kernel.org) --> the download never gets faster than 10KB/s (?).
+ Configure the wireless interface via netcfg --> same problem
+ Reinstalled again and only changed LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf --> same problem

So you may see, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and hope that theres anybody out there who knows what to do!

P.S. Well, i have now by-passed my problem.
1.) Created a list of packages installed during system-update on my netbook.
2.) In this list I changed package-name-x86_64.tar.gz to package-name-i686.tar.gz
3.) Downloaded the list with wget.
4.) Ccopied the packages to my laptop
5.) Created a local repository and made a system-update.
