Hi. First of all Slitaz is fantastic. I have only one problem with it: I can`t use my integrated wifi. I have an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN wifi card. How I can make it to work under Slitaz? Can somebody help me to integrate into Slitaz live-CD? Thank you!

offlineKey MasterFirmware for the wifi card is not on the live cd.
To identify the correct firmware check /var/log/messages or follow the directions below to generate the error message.
Open 2 terminals.
Terminal 1
type
tail -f /var/log/messages
hit EnterTerminal 2
su , password: root
modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi
hit EnterFind firmware load error to get firmware file name in Terminal 1.
Search for File here http://pkgs.slitaz.org/ for the tazpackage which owns the file.
Download/install the firmware tazpkg.
Reload iwlwifi:
modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi
Check /var/log/messages to verify no firmware loading error.
Restart network:
/etc/init.d/network.sh restartPosted 9 years ago # -

Here is tail -f /var/log/messages output: http://pastebin.com/TAZQn89g
If I am correct I will need iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode but i was unable to find trough package search.

offlineKey MasterGo here: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode
Download: http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/firmware-iwlwifi-6000-20141201.tazpkg
As root:tazpkg install firmware-iwlwifi-6000-20141201.tazpkg
You will need to configure /etc/network.conf for your wifi interface.
Output network interface alias:
ls /sys/class/net
Restart network.
Slitaz can only bring up 1 interface at a time.Posted 9 years ago # -

offlineMemberGreat! It works! I would like to integrate the "firmware-iwlwifi-6000-20141201.tazpkg" and my custom network.conf file into my system to create a working live cd from it. How can I accomplish that? There is an easy way to do that?
I would like to create a live CD which work out of the box: boot from the cd-rom and the only thing which I need to do to select my wlan Acces Point.

You can save currently running system (after installing package and modyfing .conf files) to custom iso (somewhere in /home/slitaz) by Applications - System Tools - Create LiveCD - Write Iso.
Or this command
# tazlito writeiso lzma
Ensure you have cd mounted in /media/cdrom before launch.Posted 9 years ago # -

Seems you are using old RC2 iso with single rootfs.gz bug.

offlineMember@ outwork69: "When trying to boot from it, it gives me a kernel panic ..."
I have the same problem with tazlito generated ISOs made from the latest rolling releases. 3 days ago I posted a short report about this, hoping others would join in with their test results and maybe suggestions for solutions. But, as so often, this sort of feedback seems to go completely unnoticed here.
The problem itself existed already in early 2014, was then solved in June 2014 and re-introduced sometime later, which is why tazlito generated ISOs still get stuck with a kernel panic.
