Here's how i set up wifi: (assumes your driver for your wifi card is a windows installer/driver)

pacman -S dkms linux-headers ndiswrapper-dkms ndiswrapper
# download and extract driver (you're looking for an `.inf` file in the zip/targz)
# cd to dir where .inf file is
ndiswrapper -i filename.inf 
ndiswrapper -l
ndiswrapper -m
depmod -a
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
# create a wifi profile
sudo wifi-menu -o
start nm-applet
# option 2 
# dont start network manager
# make profile with wifi-menu
# start profile with netctl
sudo netctl start 'PROFILE_NAME'
