No internet connection on slitaz computer:

Download/copy to common recordable media(flashdrive,cdr/w,floppy)on another computer with internet.

Insert media into Slitaz computer and install.

Download:

http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg

Install:

#tazpkg install /path/to/ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg

or

well, i think i get a new problem with my ipw2100 firmware.

im currently using slitaz 4 RC2 in my old laptop at home where there is no internet connection on it

and based on post ipw2100 firmware ??

i download the ipw2100 firmware and installing them on /lib/firmware

next i load the firmware by

root@slitaz:~#modprobe ipw2100

and then i check it by using dmesg and give me something like this...

root@slitaz:~#dmesg | grep "ipw2100"

ipw2100: Detect Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connectio

ipw2100: eth1: Firmware 'ipe2100-1.3.fw' not available or load failed

well, i try this command

root@slitaz:~#insmod ipw2100

this is my lsmod output

I have no solution as to why the firmware is not available or load fails.

The md5sum of all ipw2100 firmware files installed by ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg to /lib/firmware on slitaz matches the same files in /lib/firmware on a booted lubuntu oneric ocelot livecd.

#tazpkg install ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg

Check the md5sum of the installed firmware to verify it matches this:

root@slitaz:~# md5sum /lib/firmware/ipw2100*

b956daaa9e59be94ebdf6df0b3365cb6 /lib/firmware/ipw2100-1.3-i.fw

well, after installing ipw2100 firmware....

im forget to reload again that module used by kernel,

first, i remove that module used by kernel smile

root@slitaz:~# modprobe -r ipw2100

then i probing that module

root@slitaz:~# modprobe ipw2100

and binggo....! its loaded into kernel smile

well,, this thread has been solved he..he..

so...what do you think, mojo..? thnks for help me and thanks with the ipw2100 firmware smile

Hi, i have similar problems to start my WLAN Adapter(Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter ipw2100) in slitaz. I use slitaz 4.0 RC2. The strange thing is, that diffrent steps necessary to get it work(Live CD after reboot).

Following steps that helped me:

- Changing the Wireless Adapter from wlan0 to eth0 in etc/network.conf.

- Reload the module: modprobe -r ipw2100

And a few other steps....

In console as root:

- tazpkg get-install get-wifi-firmware

- get-ipw2200-firmware

creetz

stack · 2012-03-15 11:30:11

well, in my case

im currently running slitaz on my laptop at home, where there is no internet connection

so i have to install ipw2100 firware manually

because using this command :

- tazpkg get-install get-wifi-firmware

- get-ipw2200-firmware

it needs internet connection to download ipw2100 firmware smile

ichrootdunix · 2012-03-15 13:01:26

Yes thats true, i used a wired connection for install. I searched for the package, didnt find the correct package thats workz...

This is what you need: http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg

mojo · 2012-03-15 14:34:27

The wireless module must be loaded after the firmware is installed.

Slitaz livecd,not installed:

Install firmware,unload wireless module,load wireless module,restart networking.

#tazpkg install /path/to/ipw2100-firmware-1.3.tazpkg

#modprobe -r ipw2100

#modprobe ipw2100

#/etc/init.d/networking.sh restart

Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration

Slitaz installed with persistence: Reboot

Running a livecd makes installing hardware more of a challenge because you can't reboot.

@ichrootdunix

Usually if you have an ethernet adapter it will be eth0

ipw2100 is the only wireless adapter I've seen that is assigned eth*

#dmesg | grep ipw2100

or open a 2nd xterm

tail -f /var/log/messages

Read messages while unloading and then loading ipw2100 after installing the firmware.

@stack

Good to hear you figured it out :-)

atiroch · 2012-10-09 22:23:32

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm in the same situation as the OP and can't find the 2100 firmware in tazpkg form anywhere. @mojo, do you still have it somewhere, since it's not in the link you provided then anymore ?

thank you, kind sir. I still haven't gotten it to work, but at least now I have all the pieces and can try some more.
