Thanks to William Osler for the basis of the osuwireless netctl profile. It was taken from his presentation on Arch Linux but has been improved upon and adapted for eduroam as well

Hi! I'm a new freshman here at OSU. I'm currently using Arch Linux, but I'm not sure how to connect to one of the OSU's wifi with Arch. Would you like to explain how this thing works on my PC? Thank you!

Regarding page: Within the wifi@osu network profile, there seems to be a spelling "ExculdeAuto..." and I will modify the text to run "ExcludeAuto=yes".

Re: Arch installation.
I recently reburnt an arch iso image. I have encountered the same pacman -Sy/pacstrap error. I will try to use pacman -Syy to force the package manager to reupdate. My novel mind thinks that there is a network security error or pacman key error. I will give you notice on what happens. Also I am sorry that I could not make it to the open source the past week.
