Using a wifi adapter

to get your wifi (or other network) connected at boot you can use netctl

what I did was:

  • ~/script/remount-rw.sh
  • use above to get an initial wifi/internet connection.
  • edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change PermitRootLogin to yes
  • change root passwd, so I could login remotely.

then

pacman -Syy
pacman -S dialog
wifi-menu -o   
netctl enable <profile created>

basically this, updates the pacman database, installs the dialog package (needed by wifi-menu), allows you to enter the wifi setup, then netcrl enable uses the created profile and boot time.
(if you have multiple wifi or ethernet you can use netctl to select different network profiles)
