I've installed ArchLinux-2012.08.04 on my Centon 32Gig USB Flash Drive. During the arch-chroot session, I was using a Wifi connection.
I used
pacman -Syyu
to update my system. I used
pacman -S network-manager-applet gnome-keyring
to install "network Manager & Gnome Keyring". Then, I used
exit
to terminate the session and used the following commands
to boot my new install:
umount /mnt/home
umount /mnt
reboot
The new install booted, and I logged in as root with my preset password. I tried to setup my Wifi, but the following commands are missing from
my install:
ifconfig
iwconfig
iwlist
but, dhcpcd is present along with the man page. How do I get the ifconfig, iwconfig, & iwlist commands installed? They work from a LiveDVD
but not from my USB Flash Drive install..............
Thanks.
Larry

Hey lkraemer,
ifconfig has been replaced with ip in the default install.
iwconfig and iwlist are part of wireless_tools
[user@host ~]$ pacman -Ql wireless_tools
wireless_tools /usr/
wireless_tools /usr/include/
wireless_tools /usr/include/iwlib.h
wireless_tools /usr/include/wireless.h
wireless_tools /usr/lib/
wireless_tools /usr/lib/libiw.so
wireless_tools /usr/lib/libiw.so.29
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/ifrename
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/iwconfig
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/iwevent
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/iwgetid
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/iwlist
wireless_tools /usr/sbin/iwpriv

Neither https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide nor https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide tells you to use ifconfig.
Please follow the wiki.
