Thanks for your help :-)
@michaelbischof
For now there are other more important issues with slitaz I must address.
Later I will search google to see if anyone else has a solution.

Thanks to both of you! Do not misunderstand me: I have several possibilities to get Internet under Slitaz RC2, including one ZyAir old USB-device. It is just kind of sport do reach at least what is possible under Windows with Linux, though it is by no means fair sport according to the behaviours of the vendors. Wit ZyAir only WEP is possible, no WPA.

Thanks a lot! Download, installation and modprobing worked ok - but again no connection. I most likely have to try nidiswrapper with this particular usb-card, ach! :-(
From the net I learned that, for.example, with Ubuntu this thing worked, with some other distributions it did not work.
Ok, one can live with that - though it is a pity, of course.
Thanks for your help! Can you understand German? I try to give something back (without being able to translate into Italian)Posted 12 years ago # -

offlineModeratorThanks to anything, SliTaz I'm passionate and I like to discover more and more his world.
Too bad it still does not work, only two things that I can still say
There is a patch to be applied in the compilation (but I have not found)
You can see in previous posts that you have a low signal, and some users with the key of my kind I have reported a lower sensitivity than windows.
Unfortunately I do not understand German but with the translator, but thanks anyway :-)Posted 12 years ago # -

With your package it finally worked out, @gibor! Thanks a lot. But do not ask my why it happened today and not yesterday - I do not believe in magic but this is beyond what I can imagine! ;-)

But to be frank: the connection seems somewhat slow and often breaks. There is still kind of disharmony in this setup if you apologize my non-technical way of describing it. A much older zd1204-card (which cannot do WPA) is much safer.Posted 12 years ago #
