Installing Arch on Toshiba Satellite L655D

Okay, so on m other machines, I've had no problem installing arch. But on my laptop I recently bought, I came across one that halted the entire installation process.

Basically, I go to install arch, and my network drivers are non existant. The only interface on ifconfig -a is the local loopback(lo). I can't show you the whole output of lspci, but I can show you that it recognizes that it is there.

08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)

I can't download any updated drivers/proprietary drivers because, well, i have no network interface.

Any ideas?

hi  I've not used the same model as you but on other tosh laptops,and other makes  to get many linux distros to find all your hardware ,or even boot in some cases i find you must add "switches" to the end of the boot line in grub,after quiet splash from mem it was noapic on a tosh,,on a packard bell its irqpoll to get it to see the wireless card.im at work now but when i get home i can give you more info if you are still stuck,,,cheers  Theo.
