Http/Ftp Installation Problem

When I try to setup my wireless connection (wlan0), I try to select the DHCP option and it says failed to setup DHCP. So I select the other option and fill in every option except the HTTP proxy and FTP proxy. That fails to work also.

Have you read network configuration wiki?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup

Yeah, my card is being detected and everything. It already is supported by Linux, it's just not working for some reason.
Plus i think that guide is for setting up a wireless connection after Arch has been installed.

I have a wireless network(rt2870) as well, but it was not supported by the kernel, so I had to work around in order to FTP install. I fist installed the package that I created, and loaded my module, and later used ifconfig and wpa_supplicant to connect to a network, only then could I use mirrors installing arch, without dhcp. I used the wiki to fix the network connection. Like this:

ifconfig ra0 up or dhcpcd ra0
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

i somehow got it working. i tried to install again, and it worked.
but there was something wrong when i tried to find the packages.
it couldn't connect.
and i tried to install anyway, but i didn't know what my drive was called so i couldn't install it.
i wish the installer was easier to use.

Use a ethernet line to install. Then configure your wireless.

I can't use an ethernet.
But if worse comes to worse can I do a core install then install the packages later?

Of course you can, that's what the images are for. The only disadvantage you'll have is that you'll have to download quite a chunk of updates after installing the base system.

or wait for the new archlinux release, which is planned to be released this week.

Thanks!
I'll wait for the new update and in the meantime get all these installation problems fixed.
Hopefully once all this is worked out I will enjoy Arch more than Ubuntu.

Arch Linux
