Hi guys, as from the title, that's what happened. after hitting scan button in "netowrk", the wi-fi connection wasnt detected (but present and working on a machine next to the one with Slitaz 4.0 live in
The machine is a sony vaio vgn fs315h and vaio fs285h, pae machines.
Also, when unplugging the power, the warining "low battery" was blinking fastidiously and incessantly and in the exact time lapse of the blinking, the keyboard was inactive.
This is madness.

Firmware for the wifi adapter has to be installed.
Open a terminal.

what are you doing?
the pictures are unreadable
just attach the lspci.txt
just put a usb stick into the slitaz machine, copy lspci.txt to the stick and and then send it like you send the ipg

The kernel is not recognizing the wireless adapter.
Download http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/4.0/rfkill-0.4.tazpkg
Copy to the flash drive.
Boot into 4.0
Install rfkill and ipw2200 firmware.
Open a terminal
Type
[c]rfkill list all[/c]
Hit Enter key
If the output lists:
Hard blocked: yes
There is a hardware switch on the laptop that needs to be toggled to turn on the wifi adapter.
If the output lists:
Soft blocked: yes
Unblock by typing
[c]rfkill unblock all[/c]
or
[c]rfkill unblock wifi[/c]
Hit Enter
Only Soft blocked: yes can be unblocked with rfkill
Recheck:
[c]rfkill list all[/c]
Hit Enter
[c]Soft blocked: no[/c]
[c]Hard blocked: no[/c]
After Soft blocked and Hard blocked both say no:
Rerun directions to unload/load ipw2200 in my previous post.
If you still have no success.
Type
[c]dmesg > dmesg.txt[/c]
Hit Enter
Copy dmesg.txt to the flash drive.
Attach dmesg.txt to your reply.
