Installing Arch on a box which is only accessible to wireless

I am done with Winblows and I'm looking to get a fresh Arch installation on my main box. I have a WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Network Adapter that I use to access the local wireless, plugging in via Ethernet isn't an option unfortunately I'm expecting to run into some issues with this, especially when I'm upgrading pacman. Anyone have any ideas of what they would do if they were in my shoes? Let me know if anyone has some words of wisdom for this approach. Thanks to all you out there in the Arch community.

Re: Installing Arch on a box which is only accessible to wireless

Got Arch installed, but not yet updated. Using netcfg I've been able to view my Wireless Network (Cheba's Net!) so I know something has to be working correctly. I am able to connect to it, as far as I know, though I can't ping google. Anybody have any ideas as to what might need to be done? I'll post any info that you may need. Thanks again

Are you setting it up in your rc.conf?
If so, then posting the network part of your rc.conf (minus sensitive info) would help.
