Hi,
I bought a new wlan-usb. It seems to be detected:

- but it does not connect. The configuration seems ok, but the values of /etc/network.conf are not used, somehow.
Any idea?

Uff, finally it works. I had put out with
#modprobe -r rt2870sta
and then, finally, after many trials with
#udhcpc -i wlan2
it connected, took at least 1 minute or more.
Is this result correct? That this wl0162 does not work together with rt2870sta?

You have 7 wireless kernel modules: rfkill,mac80211,cfg80211,rt2800usb,rt2800lib,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
Is this a laptop,rfkill can disable your wireless.
This is how I setup my railink chipset 148f:3070 wireless when booting from slitaz-4.0-RC3+ rolling live cd.
#/etc/init.d/network.sh stop
#modprobe -r rt2800usb
#modprobe -r rt2870sta
#modprobe rt2870sta
Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration
Dbl click my access point,type my WPA password:,click OK
Solid connection starts in 4-8 seconds
I have one wireless module loaded: rt2870sta

Thanks a lot, mojo!

Router is a buffalo with tomato firmware
encryption is WPA
its running with June cooking - I had troubles with one rolling iso in december I think - there it was running only with compat wireless

My device is also such a thing:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3070
But, no, with the same configuration (but with WEP) I cannot get a lease. I must admit that with WLAN I am kind of newbie.
Offline
Ok, by now the problem is solved, at least for 4.0 - it worked from a Live-CD and from a hd-install.
Later I check it on a laptop with cooking.
Status now

what is strange in your iwconfig is Tx-Power=0 dBm
try
iwconfig wlan2 txpower auto

Hmmh,
I tried it again on a laptop where I inserted this card at boot. It is a 4.0 RC3
live-CD. By just using wicd and configuring it I got connected and the following result - without adding ,,iwconfig wlan2 txpower auto":
root@slitaz:/home/tux/Desktop# ifconfig

The connections seems ok, Midori or tazweb reacts a bit slower on this forum website than with a LAN-cable inserted, do not know why.
