Installing Arch over Secure Network

On the Linux Mint distribution, I was able to get connected to the Internet using the Network Manager applet for GNOME (nm-applet 0.6.6) to handle the passwords and such.  Seeing as how Arch does not come packaged with a desktop manager, and requires the installation of one, how am I to install Arch Linux over this secure network?

What security protocol is being used? If it's WEP or WPA, the required command line tools are provided on the install iso.

It is a Wired Ethernet connection.

It has a "PEAP" EAP Method.

A "Dynamic WEP" Key Type.

And a "MSCHAPV2" Phase2 Type.

OK. AFAIK wpa_supplicant, which is on the iso, can handle that, but I have no personal experience with it
