John,

 OK the correct line is -

pacman -Sy crda iw wireless-regdb

Arch Linux updates often and without the 'y' it does not find the current files. I had already updated my system so I did not realize that.

Changes have been made to howto and readme.

Sorry for the confusion.

-----I had already installed and configured wireless (and it's working fine except for the boot messages). Could that be the problem?

Thanks for the update on the wireless procedure. I'm running into a hiccup when I execute the command: 
[root at WB5NFC-2347 ~]# pacman -S crda iw wirelessregdberror: target not found: wirelessregdb
Thanks,
John

The wireless howto and wireless info in the V1.02 readme on the web page have been updated again.

Info on eliminating the CRDA messages that appear constantly and hang the console is included.

Also there is a recommendation for a small HDMI monitor and keyboard for portable use.
