    Hi

    Can you help me?

    Please tell me:

    is supported by "SliTaz" a card "PCI" Tp-link brand?
    This is a Wireless card Model TL-wn350g.

    In this card the driver for wXP is:
    The file "inf" = net5211.inf
    The file cat i= net5211.cat
    The file sys =Ar5211.sys

    Slitaz don´t "see" this card?

    Thanks for your time and reply

    TL-WN350G has Atheros AR2417 chipset
    Use ath5k module,no firmware needed
    Install linux-wireless.tazpkg which has ath5k module
    Follow this: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy

    Thanks mojo for your time and your reply:

    Is correct, the card is supported, but I can not connect for the public red

    Which is the reason?

    In "tazhwbox" displays the following information:

    ath5k support for Atheros 5xxx of land 802.11 wireless card
    rtl8187/rtl8187b rtl8187 wireless usb driver

    Which is the reason for this ghost usb driver???

    Other information from my machine is this:

    There is a bug with whatever system in linux identifys/loads driver module for the AR2417/AR5007G chipset.
    The system loads rtl8187 and ath5k instead of just athk5
    Do not use tazhw/autodetection to load the module for the wireless card
    Maybe it will work if you only load ath5k ?
    Try this:
    tux@slitaz: subox wifibox

    Drivers tab,module: ath5k,click Load.verify only ath5k is loaded with lsmod button.
    Use networks,favorites,configuration tabs to setup connection.
    If connection works:
    Add ath5k to /etc/rcS.conf LOAD_MODULES=
    Edit /etc/network.conf for default interface , enable wifi at boot, etc.

Howdy, Stranger!
