Problems with wireless, WPC54GS card

Hello everyone, I'm new with Archlinux and I managed to do everything work thanks to the guides in the community, except for my wireless card:

WPC54GS v1.1 Linksys

I need the firmware and couldn't find where to get it. already read this topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=24863 but I can't follow it cuz of my poor knowledge. Thats the best information I got after like one hour of searching about it, so it would be really nice if someone could guide me so I can get it work smile.


[root@roldarch ~]# ifconfig -a

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:10:91:3C:0F  
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

[root@roldarch ~]# iwconfig

You probably need some firmware for your wifi card. It should be in some package from [core], but you need to know the name of your wireless chipset (not just the commercial model).
