I'm a long-time Gentoo enthusiast who recently got exposed to Arch and I am impressed thus far. I actually installed Arch on my laptop simply as a last-ditch attempt to get my wireless back up and running after it crapped out with a recent Gentoo install. So far, though, no dice. The installation was a breeze and I'm happy to have Gnome3 up and running so quickly, but this wifi bit is killing me.

All of that seems good to me. Yet, when I click on the convenient network manager in Gnome3's applet tray, I can see the networks I want (and wlist wlan0 scan lists what I expect), but when I click on it (and expect a prompt for a key), I get nothing. Correspondingly, when I run wpa_supplicant on it's own, I get this:
[root@laptop patrick]# wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Any help? =\

Well, I added console kit to my xinitrc and now I can get on my wifi connection just fine via Gnome.
But why on Earth doesn't any of this work as root via terminal like it should?
