Hi Kyle,
We're golden finally! I ended up learning how to get wifi up on
archlinux properly and learned how to handle these fast sata drives if
things were on them and archlinux is to go onto them.
This second bit isn't difficult either but has a few steps and is for
those that can swap out hard drives. The ones that can't swap out hard
drives will do well to learn to erase boot sectors and put a new disk
label on disks with parted or something similar. I'd recommend dban if
it would talk.
For those that can swap out hard drives since they use drive caddies:
1) insert talkingarch in dvd drive,
2) unlock hard drive and move it so it's out of contact with connectors,
3) boot system up and get to root# prompt,
4) put hard disk in caddy and lock it in and wait a few seconds,
5) unlock caddy and move hard drive just out of contact with connectors
again; that should produce error messages,
6) push disk back into caddy and lock caddy,
7) type udevadm settle then wait a few seconds,
8) type lsblk and see if the hard drive shows up (that should show up as
an entry),
9) proceed with owtherwise normal TalkingArch installation.
Wifi has a few steps too:
1) run wifi-menu -o hit enter to use active network if you know its
password,
2) pick a network name and enter that,
3) key in wifi router password,
4) type netctl list
5) find the network name to right of asterisk and copy all of it to
speakup clipboard,
6) type netctl store and hit enter,
7) type netctl enable followed by space then hit the speakup paste
command then hit enter; you should hear a successful link operation
happen if you did it right.
Once that's done, and the system boots it automatically tries to connect
to wifi and in my case does so successfully.

There are two different files at play here. /etc/asound.conf is the
alsa card configuration file, which was created if you chose a card
other than the default, i.e. if you heard the voice recording about
having more than one sound card on your computer. If you have only one
card, and if you did not hear the recording, there will be no
/etc/asound.conf, and you don't need one. /var/lib/alsa/asound.state is
the mixer state configuration, and is written either by running
alsactl store
from inside the chroot, or by running
alsactl -f /mnt/var/lib/alsa/asound.state store
from outside of the chroot, assuming you mounted your installed system
at /mnt. If I remember correctly, I ran
alsactl store
from inside the chroot in my audio guide, as it is certainly the easier
command, and should store the mixer state in the right place without
any errors.
