Re: Driver For Realtek RTL 8188CE WiFi Adapter

All commands as root.

Slitaz iso does not include realtek firmware:

Download/Install http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/5.0/firmware-rtlwifi-20141201.tazpkg

[c]tazpkg install firmware-rtlwifi-20141201.tazpkg[/c]

Slitaz-5.0/rolling has the compiled driver included in linux-wireless if you boot into gtkonly or core.

Unload/load driver after installing firmware.

[c]modprobe -r rtl8192ce && modprobe rtl8192ce[/c]

Applications/Preferences/WiFi configuration

If you require more help post the output:

[c]lspci -nn[/c]

[c]uname -a[/c]

[c]lsmod[/c]

[c]ls /sys/class/net[/c]

[c]iwconfig[/c]

[c]cat /etc/network.conf[/c]

[c]ifconfig[/c]
