How I connected to my home Wi-Fi:
  • installed and set up wpa_supplicant:
    Code:
    wpa_passphrase HOMEWIFI password > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • tried using it with netctl, but failed (will investigate later)
  • used journalctl -b to find out why I could ping only about 4 times and got disconnected (there were more error messages, but this one caught my attention):
    Code:
    cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: DE
  • I’m currently not in Germany, so I had to make the driver use regional frequencies
  • installed crda
  • uncommented WIRELESS_REGDOM="CZ" in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom
  • ran dhcpcd, it starts wpa_supplicant automatically
    Code:
    dhcpcd -i wlan0
Violà! :-)

Thank you a million Skry for giving Arch to us! :-)
