offlineKey Masterwhat are you doing?
the pictures are unreadable
just attach the lspci.txt
just put a usb stick into the slitaz machine, copy lspci.txt to the stick and and then send it like you send the ipg

offlineKey MasterThe kernel is not recognizing the wireless adapter.
Download http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/4.0/rfkill-0.4.tazpkg
Copy to the flash drive.
Boot into 4.0
Install rfkill and ipw2200 firmware.
Open a terminal
Type
rfkill list all
Hit Enter key
If the output lists:
Hard blocked: yes
There is a hardware switch on the laptop that needs to be toggled to turn on the wifi adapter.
If the output lists:
Soft blocked: yes
Unblock by typing
rfkill unblock all
or
rfkill unblock wifi
Hit Enter
Only Soft blocked: yes can be unblocked with rfkill
Recheck:
rfkill list all
Hit Enter
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
After Soft blocked and Hard blocked both say no:
Rerun directions to unload/load ipw2200 in my previous post.
If you still have no success.
Type
dmesg > dmesg.txt
Hit Enter
Copy dmesg.txt to the flash drive.
Attach dmesg.txt to your reply.Posted 10 years ago # -

offlineKey Masteripw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
the ipw2200 firmware is not present during boot
either you install slitaz to the hard disk, or if you boot from usb stick, you have to run tazusb to get an image, after the firmware is stored. otherwise you have to run all the commands each time you boot
save the firmware, install it and run
root@slitaz:/home/tux#
Type
modprobe -r ipw2200 ; modprobe ipw2200
Hit Enter keyuntil dmesg looks like this
