How to make RT5390 wifi on pci work on slitaz 5 rc-2 ?

I have just started using slitaz. I have no other way to access intenet other than wifi. but the wifi card is not working on slitaz. I haven't yet installed sliatz on hard disk, just used as live usb. what drivers or other things I need to install to use RT 5390 wifi card on PCI ?

Re: How to make RT5390 wifi on pci work on slitaz 5 rc-2 ?

The experimental rt2800pci driver that supports rt5390pci is compiled in kernel:

CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT53XX=y

Open terminal.

Re: How to make RT5390 wifi on pci work on slitaz 5 rc-2 ?

Nevermind.

I got it working.

Simply resetting all settings in the bios to default made it work. This also made wifi work in ubuntu which stopped working at some point while I was trying to make it work in slitaz. I had changed two settings in bios - one related to virtualisation and another related to making fn keys default as special keys(WiFi, volume etc.).

Anyway, Thanks.
