I have a Dell Latitude D600, as i see, when i boot SliTaz 4.0 RC2, it loads all the drivers that i need, included the wireless card, when i put iwconfig it says that the driver is loadedd. But here's my problem, when i try to search for a wireless interface, no one is detected! With another linux OS (Slax), it loads the driver module and i can connect to wireless, it detects the networks, but SliTaz doesn't! Do you know of any program that i should need?
Thanks

Now, what should i do?Posted 13 years ago # -
The b43legacy driver has to be loaded after the firmware is installed.
Open terminal,login as root
#modprobe -r b43legacy
Download firmware : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5197027/slitaz/b43legacy-firmware-3.130.20.0.tazpkg
#tazpkg install b43legacy-firmware-3.130.20.0.tazpkg
#modprobe b43legacy
Set the wireless router to broadcast ESSID slitaz won't connect if it's hidden.
Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration
Enter root password in subox click ok
Your router should show under essid Name after a few seconds.
Double click the essid of router,enter your WPA password in box,click OK button to connect.
To set default network interface,static ip,other network configurations :
#leafpad /etc/network.conf
If you have problems:
Open a second terminal
tail -f /var/log/messages
Load/unload driver in other terminal while monitoring the messages in this terminal
Post any errors related to driver,firmware loading,association/connection issues.Posted 13 years ago # -
As far as I see (but I am an absolute WLAN-beginner) you have to connect to the net
02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 02)02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 02) <= this you see from lspci-output
Most likely, but this I do not know, the necessary module for it is radeon (=> output of lsmod), so the module is loaded. But it does not connect - yet: output if iwconfigNow I would try in a root konsole:
#iwconfig wlan0
and then
#udhcpc -i wlan0
, takes some seconds. Then with ifconfig you should see whether it is connected or not, like here with my machine:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:C5:56:C4:99
inet addr:192.168.2.22 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:13446022 (12.8 MiB) TX bytes:1359785 (1.2 MiB)That's the way as far as I know it. Attention: go on to post your results here but in the next days I will not be the person to take care of that. I am busy with other things - but to let you know: starting from zero knowledge I learned here, on this forum, how to get WLAN on Slitaz within about 14 days (and with difficult, rare, old hardware!).

Well, in fact i'm using the 4.0 stable installed on a 3 GB HDD Partition, i did what you told me, loaded the firmware and the wireless card was detected (Thanks!) But something strange happened, when i go to Applications/System Tools/Wifi Manager, and i double click the ESSID that i need, it closes the box! So i went to the TazPanel and chaged from there the wifi things, put the WEP key and nothing happened!
What should i do now?Posted 13 years ago # -
If this doesn't work:
The big Wifi network box with access points is replaced by a smaller Wifi connection box where you enter the password and click OK button to connect to the a.p. you dbl-clicked on.
Try this:
Open terminal,su,password: root
#leafpad /etc/network.conf
Read the comments,add your wifi info.
File/Save/Quit
Go back to root terminal
/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
The network connection indicator in the upper right corner should turn from red to white.
Test if google dns server replys to your ping:
ping 8.8.8.8
Your connected!If this doesn't work try michaelbischofs directions.
wifibox WEP crash: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/wifi-problem-1#post-9308Posted 13 years ago # -
Did what you said, but it connected to lo, loopback, so no wireless. Tried what michaelbischofs said, and also nothing happens, i still don't know what am i doing wrong, well, a thing that may be causing the trouble, when i go to the wifibox, it shows at least 4 interfaces with the same name that the mine, the 4 are called "TURBONETT", and i choose the one with the bes quality link, tried adding to the network.con file the channel 6, because in another linux with a program calledd "Wireless Assistant", it showed all the wireless ESSID's, Channel and the AP (WEP key) mine is WEP key, so i don't need (i guess) the wpa_supplicant. What should i do now?
The driver is loaded.
The firmwarer is loaded.
The wifi card show interfaces!
WHAT?Posted 13 years ago # -
In this case ,,... and also nothing happens" is not detailed enough. Mojo's idea is great - open 2 root konsoles. In one konsole you type
#tail -f /var/log/messages
<= That shows the reaction of your machine
and in the other one you type first
#/etc/init.d/network.sh stop
Now you check with
#iwconfig
whether your Broadcom somethng is recognized. Look at the output in the ,,/var/log/messages"-konsole.
If so you type
#iwconfig wlan0
(or wlan1? I do not know...)
Look at the output again. If correct you type
#udhcpc -i wlan0
Then you should see something like this:

In the most important file /etc/network.conf there is a section for Wifi. In case of trouble show please your section of this file here. Once I had the following trouble, do not laugh please:
the WEP code was 145WC-55W55- and it did not work. I changed it to 145WC55W55 wihtout those brakes -and it worked! ;-)Forgive me, but now we have sunshine here and I run to collect wild garlic (Allium ursinum) so for many hours I won't be here.
