Wireless
  • RobertBRobertB October 2010
    Hi. I just downloaded SliTaz today and tried it out on live USB - I can't believe it only takes up 30mb! Anyway, I couldn't connect to wireless. When I went to configure wireless, only my ethernet card was detected - no network card was to be seen. Is there any way of making SliTaz recognise this card and connect to the internet?

    Thanks.

    you are supposed to post some other useful data to get help, you did not mention which card you have nor the output of lsmod ... :-)
    try to configure wireless through Control Box, a configuration frontend that you can launch double clicking the PC icon you should have in the right corner of you lxpanel bar

    To keep iso small no wireless modules.
    root@slitaz: tazpkg get-install linux-wireless

    If you have USB wireless:
    root@slitaz: tazpkg get-install usbutils

    I entered lspci -v | less into the terminal (in Ubuntu) and got this:

    02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2427 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Device 1a3b:1112
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
    Memory at fbff0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
    Capabilities:
    Kernel driver in use: ath9k
    Kernel modules: ath9k

    In SliTaz I clicked on configure wireless -> drivers and tried to load the 'ath9k' module, but with no success. Wireless was still disabled.

    The 'tazpkg...' command doesn't work without an internet connection.

    if you have internet acces in another pc or in the same pc with another os you could download the required packages from here http://pkgs.slitaz.org/ and install then with tazpkg install instead of tazpkg get-install.
    type tazpkg --help to see how it works

Howdy, Stranger!
