Re: SliTaz Broadcom 4318 problem

ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

Open terminal as root.

Install rfkill utility:

[c]tazpkg -gi rkill[/c]

Query system:

[c]rfkill list all[/c]

If

Soft blocked: yes

and/or

Hard blocked: yes

then

[c]rfkill unblock wifi; rfkill unblock all[/c]

Verify wifi is unblocked:

[c]rfkill list all[/c]
0: phy0: Wireless LAN

[c]Soft blocked: no[/c]

[c]Hard blocked: no[/c]

Change /etc/network.conf

WIFI_KEY_TYPE="on"

to

WIFI_KEY_TYPE="any"

Restart networking:

[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh stop[/c]

[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh start[/c]

Re: SliTaz Broadcom 4318 problem

Thank for you answer Mojo. But Wlan0 is already not blocked before rfkill. So, my wifi connection doesn't change. I tried Tiny Core and it has worked perfectly. I just did it to

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=947.0

I don't know the equivalent for SliTaz

Thank
