hello all :)
I downloaded slitaz-cooking live dvd. I tried to configure wireless network on my own, but somehow it's not going well..
SliTaz detected my wireless as wlan0 and loaded TWO modules - rt2800usb and rt2870sta.. Now when I try to find my AP it doesn't show.. I managed to get this card working under Mint, Puppy and a few other distros, sometimes with troubles (modules..) so I'm sure I can do it here as well..
Any ideas how can I get my wireless working ? Great lightweight distro btw :)

My tenda W311U with ralink chipset:
ID 148f:3070
autoloads those modules.
#tazpkg -gi firmware-rt2x00
or
Download: http://mirror.clarkson.edu/slitaz/packages/cooking/firmware-rt2x00-20110227.tazpkg
#tazpkg install /path/to/firmware-rt2x00-20110227.tazpkg
Stop networking:
#/etc/init.d/network.sh stop
If I don't unload the modules and reload rt2870sta the connection is slow,unstable,and disconnects.
#modprobe -r rt2800usb
#modprobe -r rt2870sta
#modprobe rt2870sta
Configure networking:
#nano /etc/network.conf
Start networking:
#/etc/init.d/network.sh start

We give here feedback, yes?
Ok, RC2 works with one quite old usb-WLAN-stick - and surprisingly not with a newer one, though you, @mojo, gave a nice description of how to do it here:
My output is this one
rt2870sta: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.

My Ralink has identical chipset ID , no idea why yours will not work.
Does this adapter work with godanes tank-iso?
Tank iso includes ralink firmware and rt2800usb autoloads and works for the kernel 3.2.10
rt2870sta was removed after kernel 2.6.39

Hmm,
#uname -r
2.6.37-slitaz
I added the firmware anyway. In some Ubuntu forum I found a remark that sometimes original source software from Ralink is better. So I downloaded this one:
2010_0709_RT2870_Linux_STA_v2.4.0.1
But, do not laugh please: after todays fiasco with compiling Kompozer I do not dare to compile another thing! :-(
@mojo: this is not (!) essential for me. I can use as well some other tools for wifi. I am just perfecting and learning.
The Xorg-server issue is much more severe!
As you see here the modules are loaded, its recognized, it even scans - but it does not take the parameters from the config file and subsequently it cannot connect. In wicd it is shown, but not as connected.
