I can't get the on-board wireless card on my old Acer Aspire to work (I'm using Slitaz 4). As in the situation described in
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/wifi-stumped-wpc11-pcmcia-card-on-old-laptop-have-ethernet
my wireless manager has no tabs (so no drivers tab). I followed the instructions given in the post but the wireless manager shows no wifi access point and still has no tabs.
Here is some output:

Any help much appreciated
