Hello all,
I just Installed Arch on another laptop. I followed the "Wireless Setup" wiki page and chose the manual setup. The router I try to access is using WPA2. I started the interface and issued:
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -d
and I got:

"iwconfig wlan0" tells me that the card isn't associated with the accesspoint. I would be grateful if you could offer me any clue to what's wrong.

How did you generate your wpa_supplicant.conf file? And what kind of setup are we talking about? Is this a simple WPA2 PSK setup or a Radius server?

Hi,
I generated the wpa_supplicant.conf with
wpa_passphrase mywireless "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
It's a simple WPA-PSK setup. The router's web interface says "WPA-PSK" not WPA2-PSK. My bad, but it makes no difference in the wiki page I followed.

I just solved my problem. I changed "proto=RSN" to "proto=WPA" in wpa_supplicant.conf. I had taken the line from the wiki (WPA/WPA2-PSK setup). For future reference my config file now looks like:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
network={
ssid="universi"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=<psk value>
}
