I had that line, but my interpretation was that if the initdefault is 5 
then do that.
Apparently the initdefault line was not taken into consideration.

Now I rebooted again and with this line
id:3:initdefault:

arch still boots in init 5, but at least it doesn't fire up GDM now.
So how on earth is it possible that it boots in init 5 even if I declare 
the default to be 3?

The wireless is also solved now, awesome launched with ck-launch-session 
works perfectly :)
(Almost there, thanks everyone!)
