   hi
   i've an old compaq armada 1750 (laptop) with 256mb ram and PII proc
   no hard disk, but slitaz livecd, running very fine

   but i've a wireless card (xi-300b)
   i need ndiswrapper to use it but ndiswrapper can't be installed .. why?

   ps : i've no ethernet card, so no internet, just need wifi!
   thanks
   i use it exclusively with livecd. and a non-bootable (too old computer) 64mb usb key

   Open xterm:
   uname -a >> armada.txt
   lspci >> armada.txt
   pccardctl info >> armada.txt
   pccardctl ident >> armada.txt

   Verify command output was printed to armada.txt
   less armada.txt

   Copy armada.txt to flash drive, plug flash drive into computer with internet.
   Attach armada.txt in your reply.

   The cardbus bridge is not communicating with the wireless card.
   pccardctl info returns no card in either socket or card info.
   Either the wireless card is not plugged in the socket or kernel modules supporting the cardbus bridge are not loaded.
   Boot slitaz with boot option laptop in kernel line with wireless card inserted.
   Post output:
   lspci -nn
   lsmod
   pccardctl info
   pccardctl ident

   After the cardbus identifies your card you will need to install linux-wireless.tazpkg
   #tazpkg install linux-wireless

   00:11.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Texas Instruments PCI1225 [104c:ac1c] (rev 01)
   root@slitaz:/home/tux# grep ac1c /lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/modules.pcimap
   yenta_socket 0x0000104c 0x0000ac1c 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00060700 0xffffffff 0x0

   yenta_socket is the correct module for CardBus bridge [0607]: Texas Instruments PCI1225 [104c:ac1c] (rev 01)

   Make sure you have pcmciautils.tazpkg installed.
   #modprobe pcmcia
   #pccardctl info
   #pccardctl insert
   Check dmesg for helpful info after you run these commands.
   If you still get no info on the card:
   Look in the Armada bio's for setting's related to the cardbus,try different options.
   Either the cardbus or the wireless card could be the problem unless you know the wifi card works in another computer.

   This thread on the old forum is related,it may be of some help:

   so i've asked someone on the slitaz freenode channel
   he said me that i've a orinoco based wireless card
   in root, i've taped :
   modprobe orinoco_cs
   iwconfig eth0 essid My_wifi
   udhcp eth0

   it's works!
