Firmware (ipw2100 for intel wireless pro) was copied from usb memory to a /usr/local/ directory.
Firmware for the iwp2100 should be included with the linux kernel since some 2.6 version please check lspci -vnn if the module gets loaded
Are there a set of wireless functionality tools that can be downloaded to a usb flash memory device, then installed onto this >old computer?
you could download all the packages needed ( most times iw and wpa_supplicant and their dependencies) and install them with pacman -U The wiki has a great page on installing Wifi on Arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration
