I figured some one here may be able to help me out. I grabbed a copy of a arch linux live cd last year from a website called www.linuxcollections.com. It sat in a draw for a while but I decided to go down the rabbit hole and do an arch install. Now the main problem I am facing is I can't get the wifi to work. It is a usb adapter wifi that sits on the desk threw one of those desktop hubs.
the Command lsusb does show the usb device as "netgear" but none of the network commands I use show it as being an available wifi device. If its possible? I could just skip this part for now. The package fdisk works fins as dose cfdisk. Grub is also on the live cd so I am thinking I might be able to just pacstrap & chroot from the live environment. Thats fine for now I just want to get to the point where i am booting from the local machine.
As for the wifi, I am thinking that I should bark up usb_modeswitch tree, metaphorically speaking of course.
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance?
