Need install disk based on newer kernel to resolve network issues
Hi
It seams the kernel version supplied on the installation disk doesn't work with my network card. (See separate thread.) However, it seams that this network card should be supported in newer kernel versions.
How do I a) update the kernel when I have no network on the machine? or b) get an installation disk which has a newer kernel?

a) download kernel26 and kernel26-firmware packages with another computer, copy over via usb, install them with pacman
b) http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95503

Re: Need install disk based on newer kernel to resolve network issues
With hokasch solution, a, this must be done after doing a base image install!
I would recommend trying out the new testing installation images http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94687 or you can try archboot (hokasch's post links to them).

Thank you for the fast answer. Do you know if I need to update any of the dependencies too?

Re: Need install disk based on newer kernel to resolve network issues
I am not sure what you are you asking. You should also make sure the your install is up to date. There is nothing on the cd that is needed to update. I would highly such looking at the beginners guide on the wiki.
