[SOLVED] Cant connect to any wireless AP. EeePC 1000H

hi there!

I'm a newbie in arch world.. I used to be a ubuntu and gentoo user (I abandoned this one for a time because I had some trouble and didn't have much time to solve stuff.. but guess what.. HOLIDAYS:D)

now I'm trying to setup Arch in a 1000h... the instalation was easy (specially compared to gentoo),
but now I can't get wifi to work.

With the stock kernel I have ethernet.. with the kernel-eee I dont have neither wireless or ethernet...

I've searched a lot and tryed a lot of things but I can't get it to work..
can somebody give me some steps?

(what modules to load.. what packages to install.. what kernel to use.. etc)

I would love to get this working..:\

best regards

(sorry for my bad english:X)

edit:

by the way.. in kernel-eee, when I do ifconfig it only shows me 'lo', while in the stock it shows also 'eth0'

edit2:

YAY!big_smile

I already have now ra0!big_smile wicd can now see wireless connections but I dont know why but i cant connect to mine (its wpa2 personal).

is personal the same thing as passphrase?

do I have to to something to get wicd connecting?

best regards!

I cant connect to unprotected wireless connections too:S
HELP:X
