Hello Everyone

   I just buy a new box, with no wifi, and just one ethernet  Atheros AR8161 wired. as say LSPCI
   I wish to install Arch in whole disk.

  When Arch finish to boot in 64 bits, i want to setup eth0, but I haven´t Eth0. 
  ifconfig show only lo interface

  There is any way to get eth0 work? I have not activity in the ethernet.

  Please, help

Ethernet drivers should load automatically, but it seems yours didn't. Use lspci -k to identify the driver required, and then modprobe it.

There is a AR8161 driver available (it's called alx), but it's not in the kernel yet. A Gentoo user was in a similar situation recently, so I added the alx driver to my little LiveUSB thingy. Read here how to download it and put it on an usb stick: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-71 … ml#7100532. I've added arch-install-scripts to it, so it should be possible to install Arch from it.
