Hello guyz! First of all, let me introduce. My name is Alan Hoffmeister, I'm from Brazil and I'm a new user to Archlinux. I sucefully installed Arch and XFCE4 on my notebook (by the way, awesome performance compared to Win7), my wired network is connecting Ok, I'm using networkmanager to manage my connections... The nm-applet can see all SSIDs around my notebook, it ask me some password, but when it try to get an IP it fails... I had this problem whit wicd too.. Always failing to get an IP..
