- First download and burn the cd image.
- It may be useful to set your access point to be a dhcp server, and deactivate all wep and other keys, temporarily. You may activate it later again, but during installation you may miss some tools to setup a proper wep environment, such as wireless-tools.
- Boot your machine with the arch cd, select "arch" for ide or "arch-scsi" for scsi systems.
- I use a system with yenta-socket, and a netgear MA 401 pcmcia card, that is driven by orinoco_cs. If your system differs, look at
- /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/pcmcia for socket drivers,
- /lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/drivers/net/wireless for wireless modules
If you are not sure which to take, simply try them out. To load the modules use
modprobe yenta_socket modprobe orinoco_cs
- The pcmcia cards are managed by 'cardmg'. Start it, and it will set a relation between the modules, the card and the next free logical ethX device.
cardmgr
- Initiate the installation.
/arch/setup
- First, select installation source No. 2 - FTP
- Then, select installation option No. 0 - Configure Network Cards
Configure it manually or use dhcp.
- Configure and set up the system as you like. You should include the package
- daemons
- pcmcia-cs
- Install your system. Add the modules you discovered earlier to /etc/rc.conf modules section. Activate pcmcia in /etc/rc.conf daemons section. After reboot, your pcmcia card is up again. You may want to
pacman -S wireless_tools wlan-ng
to set up a proper wireless environment now.
