   Hi, I´m trying to configure a D Link dwl g 122 wireless usb adapter. This is what the system detects:
   -----------------------------------
   llg Adapter
   sh rt2870sta-firmware: unknown operand
   * loaded module: rt2800usb
   rt2870sta
   sed: unmatched '/'
   -----------------------------------
   I suppose that the right driver needed is rt2870sta and that the other one is loaded automatically by Slitaz, but it doesn't work for this type of usb adapater. I have the original CD with the drivers, but I can´t make it work on Slitaz. I don´t know how to extract these drivers from the Cd, although I try it asks me for some commmands. Am I in the right way? Thanks for your help.

   I have a ralink usb adapter that loads the same 2 modules.
   The rt2870sta is what works for my adapter.
   Which version of slitaz are you running ?
   The new Slitaz-4.0-RC2 include's the firmware-rt2x00 on the live cd and different wifi configuration than older versions which don't include the firmware.
   You need unload rt2870sta and rt2800usb install firmware-rt2x00.tazpkg unless your using Slitaz-4.0-RC2
   #/etc/init.d/networking.sh stop
   #modprobe -r rt2800usb
   #modprobe -r rt2870sta
   #tazpkg -gi firmware-rt2x00
   #modprobe rt2870sta
   #/etc/init.d/networking
   Configure the network:
   #leafpad /etc/network.conf
   Restart network:
   #/etc/init.d/network.sh start

   If you want more help:
   #tazpkg -gi usbutils
   #lsusb
   Give me the complete output line with the wireless adapter including all numbers.

   With another USB-card it works on RC2, though:

   Understandably I would like to be able to use the other one as well as the ZyAir cannot do WPA. But I find it to be not sporty to apply ndiswrapper. @mojo: do we have a chance without it?

   I also have a usb dwl122, and I work when this file in / lib / firmware
   http://www.4shared.com/file/MFSaHzFp/file.html
   then charged with modprobe rt73usb and wifibox it is seen that already starts to operate.
   then configuring the file / etc / network.conf is completely usable.

   I realized that I did recently trade in information, I started to transfer of freefilehosting, unfortunately that file was still in the old.
   If there are problems with the new, please say so I will create another account of those recommended.

    Your file, @gibor, did not work as well - with this card until now only Windows 7 was able to connect.

    iwconfig always shows this:

    wlan0 Ralink STA ESSID:"" Nickname:""
    Mode:Auto Frequency=2.412 GHz
    Link Quality=10/100 Signal level:0 dBm Noise level:-143 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    But in the /etc/network.conf
    it is written correctly including this WEP key. ,,As if" the device cannot recognize what is written in its configuration file.

    Another strange thing: I cannot connect to tazpanel
    root@slitaz:/mnt/sda1/Users/michael/Downloads# tazpkg recharge
    Main is up to date.root@slitaz:/mnt/sda1/Users/michael/Downloads# tazpkg recharge
    Main is up to date.
    <= That is all I get. Is the server down?

    I'm no expert, but I think that more than 30 users that I have recommended this file, I have confirmed that they have succeeded.
    We look to the opinions of the technicians.

    The dlink dwl122 has been manufactured with many different chipsets.
    The firmware must match the hardware.
    michaelbischof : 148f:3070
    gibor: 7d1:3c03

    rt73-firmware => 7d1:3c03
    firmware-rt2x00 => 148f:3070

    michaelbischof dwl122 with 148F:3070 ?

    @michaelbischof
    Tazpkg needs some commits reversed:
    #rm /var/lib/tazpkg/ID
    #tazpkg recharge

    This means I have to try firmware-rt2x00, yes?

    (By the way: epdfview seems to be broken in RC2 - error while loading shared libraries... an old friend of mine these days...)

    Hmmmh?
    When I do this with my ZyAir zd1204 I see in iwconfig the key shown - here not.
