Connect with netctl

These instructions will allow you to connect to PAL3.0 using netctl, the default network manager in Arch Linux

Edit the file /etc/netctl/PAL3 to resemble the following (fill in your own information for interface, identity, and password)

Description='PAL3.0-profile'
 Interface=wlan0
 Connection=wireless
 Security=wpa-configsection
 IP=dhcp
 WPAConfigSection=(
  'ssid="PAL3.0"'
  'proto=RSN WPA'
  'key_mgmt=WPA-EAP'
  'auth_alg=OPEN'
  'eap=PEAP'
  'identity="username"'
  'password="password"'
 )

After doing this, you should be able to connect to PAL by running netctl switch-to PAL3
