   I have an "intel corporation pro/wireless 5100 agn [shiloh] network connection"
   I can see the SSIDs just fine (the wireless card is working) however, when i try connecting to one, slitaz stops detecting SSIDs and ethernet stops working as well

   thanks in advance,
   Adel

   Which version of SliTaz ? 4.0 ?
   Which way did you use to configure your wireless network ?

   @blakdeath

   Install all (7) firmware-iwlwifi tazpkgs
   Open second terminal:
   tail -f /var/log/messages
   In the first terminal :
   modprobe -r iwlagn
   modprobe iwlagn

   Look for messages with firmware loading errors in second terminal.
   If you need more help post errors and output from:
   lspci -nn

   Slitaz network script only supports one (1) network adapter.
   If your attempting to use wireless(wlanX) then ethernet won't work.
   You have to change /etc/network.conf INTERFACE="wlanX" to INTERFACE="ethX" to use ethernet.
   Use ifconfig command to determine your interface names.

   blakdeath here,
   @ceel it's slitaz 3.0
   @mojo
   I tried installing the iwlwifi packages with the package manager and i get "unknown wifi driver. please run one of the following drivers"
   also neither work after my connection attempt(ethernet and wifi) and i have to restart to get the network up and running again

   apparently slitaz cannot handle wpa2-psk encryption so i set the encryption to wpa
   the wireless is working now
   thanks everyone :D

   With SliTaz 3.0 the package for wireless interface is get-wifi-firmware but you probably already download it if it works

   yes it was working the problem was with the encryption method, i found that even though i used wpa2, it was still listed as WEP in the wireless menu, so i simply changed to wpa.
   Is there some way to work using WPA2?
