I cannot get netctl-auto to work.  My interface is wlan0, so I have done:
# systemctl enable netctl-auto at wlan0.service

as well as:
# netctl-auto start wlan0

Neither of which have worked.

I have but one profile in /etc/network.d which contains the following:
Description='Home Network'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
ESSID=AwesomeNetwork
IP='dhcp'
Key=<super-secret-password>
ExcludeAuto=no

This works by starting it via "netctl start" as well as enabling it with
netctl at .service.  I tried with and without the ExcludeAuto=no line.

Am I missing something?
