Arch Linux Sixty Four-Bit updates Question

[Tyler Littlefield]

The arch wiki shows how to do it, and I used google to get my WPA going. It went relatively easy; the issue was the drivers and that after I new what I was doing. I still have issues with the wireless network going down (the card actually) when I close the screen and it not letting me connect even if I ifup wlan0, or ifupdown or whatever, but I'll tackle those another time. :)

		Thanks,
