James Rayner wrote: In netcfg 2.5 the configuration options for auto wireless have changed. netcfg 2.5 rc1 is in [testing] currently. The new automatic connection has proper roaming support and will prove more reliable than the old setup - particularly with more complicated wireless configurations. To migrate to the new automatic wireless setup: 1. pacman -S core/wpa_actiond 2. Set WIRELESS_INTERFACE="" to your wireless interface in /etc/rc.conf. For example WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0" 3. Add net-auto-wireless to your DAEMONS=() array. There are also some very minor configuration changes that will only affect a small number, these are detailed here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=656086#p656086 URL: http://www.archlinux.org/news/472/
