I don't know what you've got. http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_show.php?pc=34&ps=92 With Arch we can't help you because you need modified drivers which Arch Linux doesn't officially support. Though someone with more info might reply. Best of luck! I hope someone from aircrack gets back to you soon. They know their stuff.
