   Installed slitaz-5.0-rc3 in vitualbox virtual machine bridged on a notebook Acer running windows 7.
   I can connect to internet via ethernet but can not connect via wifi.

   Hi Evat, you're saying that you "bridged" the virtual network adapter. Did you make sure you bridged it to the wireless adapter of the W7 host?
   Another question: does it really have to be in "bridged" mode or would the default method "NAT" also be ok? I mean, if you just want to be able to reach the internet from within the VM then NAT is more convenient anyway as it just uses the active network interface of the host, no matter if it's wired or wireless at this moment.
   I only use "bridged" mode if my VM must be reachable from another PC e.g. when I' running a server service in my VM.

   Key Master

   because you have to configure your /etc/network.conf to get wifi working
