   I am trying to get my wifi up on this Dell Insoiron 8600 which has an intel 2200 wireless card. I am a new to Linux but have tried to follow some of the help already posted. For a start I have tried to download the correct package from
   http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg but the link seems broken. Can someone in simple easy to follow terms point me in the right direction please. I do not wish to critisise and I realise that Slitaz has a tiny footprint but does getting a wireless card to work have to be so hard.

   It's not an archived file, so you extract it. It's a software package, so you install it by double clicking on the file.

   After extracting the folder contains this file :
   fs (folder) + files.list + md5sum + receipt
   Then Fs folder contains : lib( folder) + usr (folder)
   lib folder : Firmware then contains ipw2200-bss.fw + ipw2200-ibss.fw+ipw2200-sniffer.fw + license.ipw2200-fw

   and usr folder contains share folder = license folder = intel-ipw2200 license.txt

   hi Waleed,

   i opened a terminal as root (open sakura or xterm and type "su" and "root") and typed afterwards as root "pcmanfm".in it.
   the PCMan File Manager opens as root and you have read/write permissions in all folders.
   i copied the files from the extracted lib folder into /lib/firmware/
   after thati did modprobe -r ipw2200, modprobe ipw2200 and continued with setting up the wlan as known.

   sorry for my bad english. i hope i could help you.

   Hello.

   When I read:

   It's not an archived file, so you extract it ...

   I understand: "something.tazpkg don't have to be extracted"

   Stuffs.tazpkg have to be installed, with a double-click on file Stuffs.tazpkg.
   Without any extract protocol too (made by user I mean), Stuffs.tazpkg could be installed with CLI.

   Are we agree, Trixar_za ?

    ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg is a file that the package manager (tazpkg) can install without you has something to do other than:

    • open a terminal as root and follow mojo's advices http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/ipw2200-again#post-23341
    • or as Trixar_za wrote double click on ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg

    to install it.

    In the last case you'll have to open a terminal as root and follow mojo's instructions from
    

    # modprobe -r ipw2200
    # modprobe ipw2200
    ...

    Could you please try:
    in terminal, as root,

    tazpkg install /home/tux/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg

    cause I'm not sure tazpkg understand relative path.

    (in terminal, as root, tazpkg install /home/tux/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg hadn't work ?)

    Module of e1000 corresponding with what ? Have look here to find version of module corresponding with your hardware=
    http://hardware4linux.info/module/e1000/

    You stopped trying to configure wifi, and we now configure ethernet link, right ?

    For installing, you know, I have nothing more precise and more pertinent than other answers on this forum,
    they are a lot more experienced than me ...
