Wireless Network problem


networkmanager is not detecting network..It detects the wireless network in my area..When I give the passphrase for WPA , and click on the box "Connect automatically" , it does not connect..Also it doesnt get started at boot

I have followed the Arch Wiki for Installation and done the following

In DAEMONS - {xxxxx,dbus,networkmanager,crond,xxxx
} - It is after dbus

In /etc/rc.conf - Under networking , STATIC IP , commented out

# dhcp = eth0
INTERFACE = (!eth0 !wlan0)

I also tried adding the plasma applet but no luck

It is working when I type from terminal console and associate wpa to ESSID.

I also tried Wicd , but it keeps giving the error " Bad Password" despite giving the correct password!

Is there any other GUI utility?

install consolekit if needed and add ck-launch-session to .xinitrc
Code:
exec ck-launch-session DEorWMsessionHere
let me know if this makes a difference with network manager

EDIT: also, you shouldn't use commas between daemons
i.e. DAEMONS=(xx dbus networkmanager @crond xx)

Dear Ipozya,


I installed consolekit and modified xinitrc as above

The fix worked partly in the sense now I am able to access via Wicd and it is stable..However Networkmanager seems to be a problem as it is not working.

Thx

Other users are reporting issues with nm after latest consolekit upgrade (0.4.3-1) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112718

It only worked after I downgraded to the last version of consolekit (0.4.1-4), so I just decided to switch to WICD (which I am quite pleased with).
