I don't have Internet, so I go to the library use free Wi-Fi(no password necessary). Now I have base system(archlinux-2009.08-core-i686), when I install I choose base and base-devel packages, also I choose netcfg and wireless tool. DHCP is on, my wireless adapter is atheros AR5007, I guess the drive is fine(I didn't install the adapter drive). I can scan the ESSID, but just can't connect, when I ping google.com it said unknow hostname. I read the arch wiki, but I don't know what's wrong. Please help, I need the Internet to get my x-windows.
I am a freshman, can you recommend some books about linux? I want to study more Arch linux. Thank you for your patient.
I'm learning English. If there are any grammar or other mistakes, please tell me. Thank you.

You should check this link on the ArchWiki (your loyal friend ) http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#madwifi
Or you could get the Arch Linux Handbook too if you want.

If you have the essid try using ifconfig. I'm gonna sume your connection is named wlan0 because I have the same wireless card. Well, then try this as root:
ifconfig wlan0 up
Now that your card is active, do this:
iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSIDNAME
or
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed essid ESSIDNAME
Where ESSIDNAME is... well you should know. The Managed mode should work fine. After that, do this:
dhcpcd wlan0
To get an automatic IP address.
You'll have some messages on console... and that should be working now.

Did you try to connect in this order?
1) iwlist wlan0 scanning (maybe you have another name than wlan0)
2)iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSId
3)dhcpcd wlan0
And then it should work fine :-)
Thanks for the GNU/Linux. EDIT:Thanks for the GNU/Linux, Linux guru, for the manuals and wikis.
