No wireless network on sony vaio vpc-cw2s1e

Hello there!
Sorry for bad english first of all. So to my problem:
When I try to connect to my router that got wpa2 password thingi, I just cant.
I have tried wcid kdeplasma-applet-networkmanagement and created a group called
networkmanager, even added my user to root. I can scan and find my network but i cant
connect to it. Im bit of a noob to archlinux, only used ubuntu and the like where the wireless
worked, althoug dodgy whit dropped packages but I could surf.

I just probobly missed to install some package and the like, but it is no fun whitout wireless.

Thanks for the help

There's a ton of information in the Wiki, forums, and Google.  Maybe those will help.

Aside:  Arch Linux is fundamentally different from Ubuntu in its philosophy.  It doesn't do things for you like Ubuntu does, because it's made to only do what you want it to do.  You can read more about it at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way
