Hi. I like Slitaz, but I am having trouble getting wifi to work. I'd really appreciate your help, so I can use Slitaz full-time :)

I got htc_9271.fw from http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/ and put it into the firmware folder with root privs. I then went to the wireless setup and scanned for the hardware and the device was found, but no networks found.

Thank you so much for any help!

Side note: does that fact that Slitaz finds the hardware but not the network mean it has the driver, but not the firmware? I am not sure how this all works.

Post kernel version and wireless chipset manufacturer:product id
with complete output from:

uname -a

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
Find the section with Product=802.11
Post that complete section in your reply.

Thanks for the fast response!

I don't know how to copy from the terminal, so I took a screenshot of that.

There wasn't a "Product=802.11" anywhere in the list, but a "Product=WNA1100".

Open 2 terminals:
First terminal:
tail -f /var/log/messages
Watch first terminal for errors while you run commands in second terminal.
Second terminal:
#/etc/init.d/network.sh stop
#modprobe -r ath9k_htc
#modprobe ath9k_htc
If no errors:
#/etc/init.d/network.sh start
#subox wifibox

You have constant UDEV errors,that could be the reason the adapter isn't working.
I'm out of suggestions, here is a link to SliTaz docs on setting up wifi.

I was having difficulties getting my wireless network to work before. It detected my hardware but not the network like yours and I had to install my firmware first to get it going.

hello again.

Is there anything in the new release that would help me use this network adapter?

I think its a firmware issue - as you see in this post

http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/make-1-no-rule-to-make-target-stop-wireless-driver

you should use the old htc_9271.fw Firmware - but no idea, where he took it

I have been told that one can use "windows"drivers
by using ndiswrapper. However when I try to run the
command "subox tazndisbox" the command if not found.
Any help would be appreciated.
