Just as a small note to self. I have been setting up Arch Linux on a laptop and had trouble working with network profiles. So here's a reminder on what is needed (after supporting software like dialog and netcfg have been installed, and drivers for your wireless card are functioning):

- Create the profiles in /etc/network.d/. Easiest process is to copy relevant examples from /etc/network.d/examples/ and modify as needed.
- Add "net-profiles" to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf
- Uncomment the NETWORKS line in /etc/rc.conf and set it to read "NETWORKS=(menu)"
- Comment out the lines related to a fixed network in /etc/rc.conf, but keep HOSTNAME
