hello to everyone,

i'm new here so forgive me i'm a very noob ;) i've just booted my notebook from the slitaz live cd. first of all i wanna say, that i've searched already in the forum here but found no solution for my problem. so here it is:

searching for my wlan-card i found in "Tazhw Box":

Kernel Module: iwl3945
Description: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux

(there is also some other hardware listed, but no other network devices)

so i thought, that the drivers are already installed correctly... is this right?
Typing "iwconfig" says that my card is "wlan0" and for the others: "no wireless extensions."

starting wifibox it's scanning for networks but there's no network found although in windows there are a lot ;)
what do i have to do to get connected to my AP? which are the right settings in wifibox or what else is the problem?

please help me ;)

PS: at "drivers" in wifibox i selected "Module: iwl3945" and "Firmware: iwlwifi-3945-firmware". is this right?

You have to download and install the firmware before the module will work.
If the laptop has working ethernet click the install button to the right of firmware or get-iwlwifi-3945-firmwareas illustrated below from xterm . Otherwise use a computer with internet access to download iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.2.8.tgz from the address listed below,extract to iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.ucode and place in /lib/firmware Unload/Load iwl3945 module,ifconfig in terminal, the adapter should now be listed.

Hi,

if you have an active ethernet internet connection:
type

 tazhw detect-pci --get-firmware

It should automatically download the correct firmware.

OR

in tazhw box, just click : auto install non-free firmware

Also read the documentation here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy#manually-configure-your-wifi
