   I have a Sony laptop - PCG-FX250
   I'm running Slitaz 4.0 stable
   I have a Dell TrueMobile 1300 PCMCIA wireless card (tested and working on Windoze)
   I've searched the forums and followed instructions by mojo.

   Here is the requested output from tail (duplicates removed):

   After following instructions, I rebooted.
   When the system came up, neither wireless nor wired network worked.
   I was able to get wired working again.
   What else can I do to get wireless working?

   Wireless not working is not enough info.
   When you opened Wifi configuration was the wireless access point showing.
   Did you install firmware,follow this:
   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/wifi-stumped-wpc11-pcmcia-card-on-old-laptop-have-ethernet
   If so you may need to configure the network:
   As root:
   leafpad /etc/network.conf
   It's well commented,it only can manage one interface,either ethernet or wireless.
   ls /sys/class/net will output the wireless adapters alias name for INTERFACE=
   The wireless access point must broadcast an ESSID name.
   restart networking
   /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
   I always try to connect before rebooting.
   If you need to change network.conf , restart networking to enable new configuration.
   WIFI="yes" enables wireless on boot

   [resolved] Dell TrueMobile 1300 wireless card working in 4.0 stable.

   I don't know the correct way to switch from wlan0 to eth0 and back to wlan0.
   Any thoughts?

   Here's the scenario:
   I'd like to normally boot with WIFI="yes".
   However, for fastest download I like to connect wired (eth0)
   Then, I'd like to switch back to wlan0.

   Follow this:
   http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:network-script
   Usage
   But, most interestingly, is that /etc/init.d/network.sh may also use another config file.
   It's useful if you're using a laptop, as you can configure multiple connections for multiple access points.
   This also works to pre-configure a different network adapter.
   Use the default /etc/network.conf for wireless so you boot to wireless.
   #cp /etc/network.conf /etc/eth0
   Configure /etc/eth0 for ethernet
   #leafpad /etc/eth0
   Switch to ethernet
   #/etc/init.d/network.sh restart /etc/eth0
   Switch to wireless
   #/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
