Hi.
I have a USB wifi card that needs a kernel module to be made and installed to make it work. I've installed cooking to the hard drive, installed make but it stops making the file without any error messages that I can see.
Anybody got any idea on how to make this work

Hi,
Please provide more info:
- which wifi card,
- have you checked this page http://mirror.slitaz.org/pkgs/search.sh if the required module was available?
- did you have a look at the following http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy,
- etc...
Really, it may worth it having a look at this page http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:read before posting this kind of message. ;-)
Good luck.

What version of slitaz, stable or cooking ?
Useful info on your wireless chipset:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
Find the section with Product=802.11
Post that complete section in your reply.
For example a Tenda W311U USB wireless adapter:

Hi, Mojo.
This is on Slitaz cooking. The info given from "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" is below:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1

S: Manufacturer=Manufacturer Realtek
S: Product=RTL8191S WLAN Adapter
S: SerialNumber=00e04c000001
C:*#Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA
I:*If#= 0 Alt= 0 #Eps= 4 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)

I gather from this that the card is a Realtek RTL8191S, but apart from that it I can't tell you anything more.
totoetsasoeur - sorry if I caused any offence. Will note the general guide for future.

Don't worry, no offense at all. :-)
It is just a matter of getting (good and fast) answer when asking for help.
As for you concern, have you tried the link I gave you lately (http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy)? I do not use wifi, so I wont be of any help on this, but the guide looks pretty nice and clear.
Cheers.

You need a GB of free space to install software and linux source code to compile kernel drivers.
As root:
#tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain
#tazpkg get-install linux-source
#get-linux-source
#tazpkg get-install linux-module-headers
Get this from Realtek downloads=> RTL8191SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401.zip
Unzip,go to the driver folder,untar rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401.tar.gz
cd into rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401
#./config
#make
No errors=> make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.37-slitaz'
#make install
Download firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/file/xbpa7d9ohhn2699/firmware-realtek-0.33.tazpkg
#tazpkg install firmware-realtek-0.33.tazpkg
Open 2 terminals:
First terminal:
tail -f /var/log/messages
Watch first terminal for errors while you load driver in second terminal.
Second terminal:
#modprobe 8712u
