I'm installing without internet. To install the WiFi driver, I first mounted the Arch Linux cd #mount /dev/cdrom /media/cd #mkdir /mnt/sqfs And then mounted the core-pkgs.sqfs file #mount -o loop /media/cd/core-pkgs.sqfs /mnt/sqfs/ #cd /mnt/sqfs #pacman -U iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.176.4.1.-1-any.pkg.tar.gz and also #pacman -U wireless_tools-20-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Et voilà, we have installed the wifi driver!
