How can I know if I still need HAL? [...] After an upgrade, it will remain on your system if you do a pacman -Qdt

If you're not sure whether to remove hal or net, it's best to check packages for hal optdeps and disable hal for a while (remove it from the "DAEMONS" line in your "/etc/rc.conf"). If everything still works as expected you can most likely remove it.
