   I have installed Slitaz 4 on my 10-year-old HP-Compaq laptop, but Slitaz cannot recognise the wireless adapter. I think additional drivers are needed. At this point, there is no internet connection in Slitaz and I have to reboot to Windows everytime I access the net. What to do?

   My WLAN radio model number is WM3945ABG. If any further information is needed, please post.

   As root user provide path to tazpkg if not in the same directory.
   tazpkg install firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20120227.tazpkg

   Thank you for the reply. Though the firmware module you provided did not correct the WiFi issue, I decided to install all the firmware modules provided in http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable. One of them must have been the correct firmware, and now I can use the WIFi without any issues.

   Thank you.
