   Can you post the contents of network.conf? (Delete passwords in what you post.)
   What version did you test?

   This version has an older kernel, the same as Slitaz 4 IIRC. Does your wifi card work with vanilla Slitaz 4?

   You could compare the full list of loaded modules in working and non-working cases. (There are several modules involved in Wifi.)

   @apache
   --> error for wireless request "set tx power (8B26)" set failed on device wlan0;operation not supported--What this mean? <--

   You (the Driver) are / is trying to boost the transmission power, which is subject to technically limitations.
   Certain cards are technically limited, they have an in built fixed country code and are constructed such that they can't use a higher power whatever you try.

    See my previous message. Also compare files /etc/init.d/network.sh and /etc/network.conf of the working and non-working cases.

    Out of curiosity, why use this particular build?

    I might be out of track, but a quick glance at
    http://pizza.slitaz.me/?id=20150315-5401 > installed Packages,
    shows nothing regarding wireless. Like "wireless-tools" for example.

    I already tried replace network.conf,network.sh from workin built the result same.
    Today i tried replacing file one by one and i found out that when i add "rt2870.bin" to /lib/firmware then ran "ifconfig wlan0 up" in terminal ...it said
    "ifconfig: SIOCSIFLAGS: Operation not permitted. I want small version man thats why i come to slitaz. :)

    @ sixofeight
    click at "Browse the flavor" on the page it will show all the list ...i can confirm that wireless-tool is already installed cus i had tried to install this wireless-tool before and it said it already installed.

    I remember having encountered a bug with WEP in Slitaz 4. I had patched network.sh not to use wpa_supplicant, but use iwconfig instead. The command line looks like:
    iwconfig wlan0 essid ... key ...
