DAEMONS=(kdm)
reboot and you should have kde running
Sound
pacman -S alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss
modprobe snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
add snd-hda-intel and snd-pcm-oss to the modules array
nano /etc/rc.conf

Wireless
This laptop uses ipw3945
pacman -S ipw3945
pacman -S wifi-radar
Now add ipw3945 to the modules array and ipw3945d in the daemons array, in /etc/rc.conf
nano /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(snd-hda-intel snd-pcm-oss ipw3945)
DAEMONS=(ipw3945d alsa kdm)
!Remember to add ipw3945d before the network daemon to ensure it loads correctly
reboot and you should see ipw3945 loading at boot text
Wifi-radar makes it easy to switch between networks while roaming, only draw back is that it must be run using sudo
nano /etc/sudoers
root ALL=(ALL) ALL username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/wifi-radar
to test
wifi-radar
and thats all for the wireless and this guide :)
