Sorry for inconvenience, but it has nothing to do with "SECURITY=none". I don't have common access to this network, because it's at my working place and Arch is on my private notebook.
netcfg fails even if I have this line in my profile. If I connect with:

"iwconfig wlan0 essid "openessid" enc off" and "dhcpcd wlan0" it works

sometimes it also works, if I connect like above, then changing essid and switching wifi off/on, and start netcfg afterwards. This was, why I was convicted, that it had to do with the SECURITY - line.
