I just installed arch from the core img on my dell mini9 and I am trying to get the wireless working. I have installed the firmware for the b43 and iwconfig shows that it is associated with my ap, but when I issue the "dhcpcd wlan0" command it just times out.
I have read and followed the guides here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … reless_LAN
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WP … icant.conf
/etc/rc.conf: http://pastebin.com/xKjrnDep
networking info: http://pastebin.com/EAUh5iFH
hardware info: http://pastebin.com/NSFZSUvd
So I am kinda stuck here, it looks like everything is working but I can't get an ip.
Thanks for any help.

I find that netcfg takes a lot of time when you login if you runs it as daemon.
I'll use an alias instead :
alias wifi_yourNetworkName = iwconfig wlan0 -essid <yourNetworkName>;ifconfig wlan0 <ip>;route add default gw <ip>;
if you network has WPA secured, do the following steps:
# wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
to add another network with WPA secured:
# wpa_passphrase additional_ssid "additional_passphrase" >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
And at this line to your alias:
# wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
so this alias gonna be :
alias wifi_yourNetworkName = iwconfig wlan0 -essid <yourNetworkName>; wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf; ifconfig wlan0 <ip>;route add default gw <ip>;
