 +**UPDATE:** the kernel links above are now dead, after wasting a lot of time to find and install a prebuild up-to-date kernel, i finally compiled it by myself, using mainline git kernel; see [[U-BOOT CM11 and ArchLinux multiboot]] for detailed instructions

 +**UPDATE**: unfortunately latest ArchLinuxARM-trimslice-latest.tar.gz image lacks some useful packages, needed to bring up wifi; so i downloaded (from 'core' section of [[http://it.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/]]) and installed it manually :

 +now you can proceed configuring wifi connection, you can use wifi-menu or directly wpa_supplicant
