Hello Varti,

I don't see any problems with -dd (too much for manual copying ;-)), but I get an authentication error.

It works with an unsecured WiFi. I tested 3 different CF WIFI cards with the same result.
So, at least it's connecting when no security is used. Can you see from the log what authentication protocol is the card trying to use? Is it WPA2, or the older WPA or WEP? If it's one of the latter two, your router might reject the connection as they're too old and unsecure.

I switched to Void Linux. I got a kenel dump on Arch, when I started Pacman-Syu (on the 1000 and 3100).
The crash might be due to insufficient free memory. I had similar crashes on my 1000 which I have solved by creating a swap partition and activating the swap memory. This step is required under both alarmz and voidz, as the onboard 64MB isn't enough even for the most basic operations. Anyway, unless you specifically need Arch Linux, I'd suggest you to use Void, as it's lighter and faster.
