Are you connecting to an wpa secured network ?

If so, you need wpa_supplicant.

I use wep, and even though, i doubt that it is some thing i need to download, because as i said, it used to work before, and it shouldn't have if it had been such a problem.

first: did you load the wifi module permanent? - I think you did, but just for security.

second: check the output of

iwlist wlan0 scan

and check the /etc/network.conf, if evrything is ok - see: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy

if you still have problems, perhaps it better to switch to wicd - see

I had something similar, and no change in the files and any command line could help. What finally solved it was simply to open the Wireless manager and go to the Configuration tab and re-issue the appropriate values.
Of course, it is only my experience, but I hope it could help.

Hello Stilaz Community,

I am a new user of this distro. Really surprised me. Congratulations to Stilaz people.

I have one problem with wireless, which works on Ubuntu but not in Stilaz. Actually its is recognized as wlan0 and in Wireless App I can see several networks to connect to, but nothing happens after doing a click. Ask for Wep Key and then only "refresh" the list of networks, but no connection at all.

Some info that could help:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

dds@dds-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep ath
ath5k 121792 0

ath 7611 1 ath5k
cfg80211 126517 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath
led_class 2864 2 ath5k,sdhci

Stilaz load this module on boot up but can not connect.

I have read al docs about wifi in Stilaz but cant get it to work.

Thanks!
