My apologies for the post, I'm new to Arch. I love this distro, but I'm having trouble setting up my wireless.
I looked at the documentation, I did the whole ifconfig/iwconfig stuff, but when I run dhcpcd, it just hangs and waits for carrier before timing out. I tried changing the mode, but that wasn't successful. The output of lspci | grep -i net:
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

Alright, I think the problem is just the way I set up rc.conf. I read that netcfg is the way to go now apparently, but anyway, without WEP on, I connect fine. The important section is:
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MYESSID"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(wlan0)
How could I change this to work for WEP?

Okay,
If you would, please post the output of:
ifconfig
iwconfig
and
iwlist scan
Also, tell us more about your network. Do you have administration rights? Is it open, WEP, WPA, or WPA-2 ?

I was posting while you were.
Add the appropriate key:
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid MYESSID" key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
You can try it by
iwconfig wlan0 key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
and then check it with
iwconfig
and ensure that the ESSID is associated
