The install media already have wireless support. The 'base' group is
about the default set of packages that are installed when running
 # pacstrap /mnt base
Right now, this pull in these packages:
 https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base/
(only the one marked "Core").

I am really interested in opinions as to what we should provide here. I
think that a user without wired access could write
 # pacstrap /mnt base wpa_supplicant wpa_actiond iw crda
and get full automatic wireless support on the installed system via netcfg.
