offlineKey MasterFind the vendor:product id for the chipset.
If the adapter is attached to pci :
lspci -nn
If the adapter is attached to USB:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devicesgrep -i V(4 digit vendor)P(4.digit.product) /lib/modules/
uname -r/modules.alias
The result is the module to load for the adapter.
If you get no result google vendor:product id
You'll have to try to compile an external module with source from the chipset manufacturer.To compile an external kernel module install slitaz-toolchain , linux-source , linux-module-headers. All these tazpkgs must come from the same repo as the kernel your loading the module on,ie.stable(2.6.30.6),or cooking(2.6.37)
Firmware: most of the wireless chipsets require firmware which has to be installed to /lib/firmware
There are a few firmware tazpkgs available, the others you have to track down using google.
Firmware for iwlwifi 4965:
