With USB wireless adapter plugged in.
Open xterm:
1)

tux@slitaz: uname -r

Post complete output
2)

tux@slitaz: lsusb

Post complete output

Here's what I get

#uname -r
2.6.30.6-slitaz

As for lsusb...I don't why I can't install usbutils correctly, I keep getting two file lost posts in the package manager:
/usr/sbin/lsusb
/usr/sbin/update-usbids.sh

So, I used /proc/bus/usb/device to get the following:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=02 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

The only other things of value in the output are the built-in webcam and usb slitaz is running from.

Is this info the same as lsusb?
Thanks

2.6.30.6-slitaz is slitaz-3.0 stable
It's difficult enough on stable...
Please don't upgrade to cooking !!!
Use tazpkg in xterm.

root@slitaz: nano /var/lib/tazpkg/mirror

Verify it has:
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/
Do tazpkg recharge,tazpkg check,tazpkg get-install usbutils
It should auto get-install depends libusb and libusb-compat

Your info has more information than the output from lsusb but I don't think the wireless usb adapter will work until usbutils and it's depends are installed correctly.
Give it a try anyhow.
Google indicates 1737:0077 vendor:product id uses the rt3070sta module which is included in the linux-wireless.tazpkg for stable

As a last resort you can download the packages from the stable repository on another computer at http://pkgs.slitaz.org/ and install with tazpkg install pkgname.tazpkg as root.

Hey I got the usbutils and its depends working plus i installed the stable versions of linux-wireless and get-wifi-firmware, but no matter what I do with the firmware or driver configuration it just doesn't want to find the usb wifi adapter.

I did a get-install of the cooking versions of linux-wireless and get-wifi-firmware and it finds the usb device, but yields an error with the usbmap (maybe that arises due to the confusion with the kernels and their folders).

Any thoughts regarding more things to try are still greatly appreciated.
