Wireless network - need firmware, but nave no network connection!

I have a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network card and I need firmware to use it. The problem is that the only Internet connection I have is the wireless one, so I can't use pacman before I have set up the wireless. I have dual boot with Kubnuntu and I have download the firmware from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads There is any way to install the firmware to Arch linux from Kubuntu? I have no idea how to do with the firmware..

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

What's the exact problem with it ? It seems to work after download in ubuntu. You can chroot to arch after mount in kubuntu too.
copy the resolve.conf to chroot environment too. You have got more choice to solve this.

@djszapi: I don't understand what I should do with chroot..

@wonder: I am not sure that driver work.. I take the i686 one becuase I have 32 Bit system..
When I type ifconfig wlan0 up I get this error:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

Please help.
