I have a fresh installation of Arch Linux.
During the install I used wifi-menu
to connect to wifi. After the installation I tried to use it and it said I needed to install dialogs
to use it - which wasn't possible because I currently had no access to the Internet.
As a side note the laptop I use is a Sony Vaio Pro 13. It doesn't have an Ethernet connection because it's so thin. So I am forced to use wireless.
I have read the docs and attempted to use netctl
but it fails to connect and returns an error that I need to install wpa_supplicant
- Again I can't install because I cannot connect to the net.
What other solutions do I have available in order to connect to my access point so I can download the necessary packages?
Btw, iw
is not installed. It also appears ifconfig
and ipconfig
are not installed, which doesn't seem right.
pacstrap
to do that. – jasonwryan May 8 '14 at 20:36
