Wireless MIMO PCI Card CN-WF511M

Hello gentlemen,
after long time I have a question which as subject says is related to wireless MIMO Card - connection.
First of all, I don't have dhcp connection anymore and the only connection I have is wifi.
I would like to install Arch but What I'm not sure about is which packages I should download and prepare (if any)
before I'll start with the basic setup CD and that later on I would install(now I mean drivers for already mentioned wifi card).
Sorry for my bad English but to summarize do I have to download some drivers which I would install during or after base
installation has finished to be able to connect to Internet and continue with my Arch setup?

Thank you in advance

You need to identify the chipset your card uses, and from that decide which driver you need. Our install ISOs include all wireless drivers that we are permitted to distribute.

Thank you, for your quick response. My card should have module rt61 and it could be Ralink RT2600(PCI).
Last question is this driver included as well and is it enough to ad this module to rc.conf?
Thank you in advance
