wifi impossible

gegetrois · 2015-12-08 21:46:17

Hello,

I have a desktop PC Packard Bell 8/9 years old with a 110 GB HD, ram = 2GB, 32bits.

I tried Zlitaz mode Cdlive, it works well, I have internet with Ethernet cable, but unable to connect to WiFi, the wireless card is on USB key.

for know the hard, i make :

#tazpkg get-install usbutils

# lsusb

résultat : Guillemot Corp. HWGUm-54 [Hercules Wireless G Ultra mini Key]

after search, the chipset of this key HWGum-54 is : Realtek RTL8192su

I found the module linux-r8712u-2.6.37.tazpkg and explanations here :http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/how-to-configure-wifi-in-slitaz

I found firmware "http://cook.slitaz.org/packages/firmware-rtlwifi-20141201"

here : http://cook.slitaz.org/packages/

0.download firmware

Realtek wifi chipset that uses r8712u driver on linux are crap.

Either the kernel doesn't recognize the adapter or the transfer rate is dead slow.

In your case the adapter is not recognized by the kernel.

root@slitaz:/home/tux# ls /sys/class/net

dummy0 eth0 lo

If the adapter was recognized it would have a wlan0 alias.

lo the local loopback is not a valid WIFI_INTERFACE

Wireless USB adapter with ralink chipset are the best.

Thank you, mojo, for your explanation
