you could also try a netinstall cd and enable the testing repository in /tmp/pacman.conf. IIRC aif (the installer) uses pacman with that config file, so it might just work, although i never tried it myself. if you are not afraid of looking at bash scripts, look at the source code of aif then you'll see how exactly it works.
A netinstall using a kernel without the necessary network drivers might prove hard to use. :)

Using the core installing then just upgrading kernel26 and kernel26-firmware to 2.6.33 worked just in case anyone was wondering. Got networking up finally :)
