Can't get wifi autoconnect working

[jbarba76]

Hi all,

First, forgive for my poor english, I hope I can explain my problem accurately. I have a raspberry pi, running Ach linux with latest updates (before run pacman -Syu). Im trying to correctly set wifi auto connect on boot using wiki and netctl-auto service for wlan0. It's a USB dongle, D-Link DWA-131 802.11n Wireless N Nano Adapter(rev.A1) [Realtek RTL8192SU]. Im using this profile:

Description='A wireless connection using a custom network block configuration'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa-configsection
IP=static
Address='192.168.1.247/24'
Gateway='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8')
WPAConfigSection=(
'ssid="myssid"'
'psk="mypassword"'
)

I've tested this profile activating it with:

netctl start test

And I can surf the web without problems. When I activate this profile on netctl-auto with:

netctl-auto@wlan0.service

All goes well, but when I reboot the pi, it can't connect to router. I see this on log:

I'm sure that wlan0 interface exists, the profile is correct (tested and working out of boot and netctl-auto) and profile is NOT enabled. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

i have a similar setup to yours. I'm however not using netctl-auto@wlan0.service.
I used

netctl enable my_profile_name

to enable the wifi profile and wifi works after reboots.

Or use wifi-menu to create profile, and systemctl enable netctl-auto@wlan0.service to activate on boot
