[SOLVED] NTT Corrino W100i WiFi issues (AR5001)

I'm running Arch on my NTT Corrino W100i, also known (and recognized by dmidecode) as Malata PC-81006. I have some problems with WiFi connection to my AP. Everythink works fine on XP, both with LAN & WLAN. But on arch only LAN woks, I can't get wifi to work. Some info:

[root@arch ~]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

[root@arch ~]# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
[root@arch ~]# dmesg | grep wlan
[   41.174727] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[root@arch ~]# ip addr
# eth and loopback
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:22:43:2a:4c:5e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

If I type ifconfig wlan0 up, there's no output and typing ip addr still have the same output:

3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:22:43:2a:4c:5e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Changing mode with iwconfig doesn't work, ip addr is the same as above. Do i have to change drivers? I use ath5k built in arch, I have wireless_tools, net_tools and wicd packages installed from pacman.

@edit - I have solved my problem by removing wicd & wicd-gtk packages. Now wifi works fine
