Description:
When netctl-auto@$INTERFACE.service is on, it is imposible to change AP using wifi-menu, even there is no known AP in area. All I get is an report_notice "Interface '$INTERFACE' is controlled by netctl-auto".

So I have to disable netctl-auto using "systemctl stop netctl-auto@wlp1s0.service", which also automatically run command "rfkill block wlan". I have to turn on using "rfkill unblock wlan" and then I can use "wifi-menu".

Even when you want to manually change to known profile "netctl start <profile>" when is netctl-auto on, you have to do same stupidity, because otherwise it says:

"Job for netctl@<interface><profile>.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@<interface><profile>.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details"

The notice you get is no more than a notice. In the background, netctl-auto is restarted, so that it might decide to use the newly created profile (it need not, other known networks might also be available). In netctl 1.3, the netctl-auto utility gained support for management of the netctl-auto process.
