I've got a Macbook 6.1 with a Broadcom BCM43224 network card using the 'brcmsmac' drivers. Until a few hours ago, the network was working fine when I used netcfg. Now, however, it presents 'DHCP IP lease attempt failed' when I try to connect to any network. Both protected (WPA) and unprotected (linksys, etc) give me this error. I've googled the problem and the threads I could find don't seem to have a working solution for me, although they do all have one thing in common, the problem happened after DHCP updated. Before this, I could just do 'sudo netcfg up [connection]' and it would work normally.
The last thing I did before this stopped working is removing a partition (unrelated to Arch, it was a small NTFS storage partition) and recreating it (as FAT32, so OSX could read/write to it as well as Arch) with a different filesystem, and then regenerating my MBR by dd'ing the first 440 bytes of disk0. Everything boots fine after this, and OSX, the only other OS I have on the computer, accesses networks fine. I don't think what I did could be related because OSX works just as it did before the change, but I figure it's worth mentioning...
