Ok, I will send the steps I make to help you with the tutorial then :)

This is for a Sony Vaio VPCZ13X5E

I'm installing without internet. To install the WiFi driver, I first
mounted the Arch Linux cd

#mount /dev/cdrom /media/cd

#mkdir /mnt/sqfs

And then mounted the core-pkgs.sqfs file

#mount -o loop /media/cd/core-pkgs.sqfs /mnt/sqfs/

#cd /mnt/sqfs

#pacman -U iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.176.4.1.-1-any.pkg.tar.gz

and also

#pacman -U wireless_tools-20-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Et voilà, we have installed the wifi driver!

Then

#iwconfig

#ifconfig wlan0 up

And from here the usual method of connecting to the wireless network
