I've been running Slitaz for a few years on an old Asus EeePC 900, with the 4GB PATA interface SSD and 2GB of RAM, for which it is well suited. I'm not sure when the problem started, but lately it has been unable to stay connected via wireless. I know that the wireless card is working and set up properly, because it connects for a few seconds every two minutes. Dmesg log shows the problem as CRDA not being able to update world regulatory domain. I've managed to install iw via sneakernet, but have not been able to configure the country code so that it stays set.
As root:
iw reg set US
iw reg get
country 00: DFS-UNSET

(5170 - 5250 @ 40), (6, 20), NO-IR
(5735 - 5835 @ 40), (6, 20), NO-IR
What am I doing incorrectly? Should I be approaching the problem from another angle? Have I given enough information?
