I'll reserve my opinions on including wpa_supplicant in base, but I feel
that it at least deserves a mention in the Arch Installation Guide. It's
strange to me that the installer has better networking support than the
base system. I've installed Arch on 5 different laptops, and I've
forgotten about wpa_supplicant on every one of them. Maybe something
like "Other packages or groups can be installed by appending their names
to the above command (space seperated), possibly including the boot
loader or wireless networking packages" under "Install the base
packages". Thoughts?
