Wireless Adapter Not Recognised

I have installed Slitaz 4 on my 10-year-old HP-Compaq laptop, but Slitaz cannot recognise the wireless adapter.  I think additional drivers are needed.  At this point, there is no internet connection in Slitaz and I have to reboot to Windows everytime I access the net.  What to do?

My WLAN radio model number is WM3945ABG.  If any further information is needed, please post.

Download to flash drive: http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable/firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20120227.tazpkg

As root user provide path to tazpkg if not in the same directory.

[c]tazpkg install firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20120227.tazpkg[/c]

Re: Wireless Adapter Not Recognised

Thank you for the reply. Though the firmware module you provided did not correct the WiFi issue, I decided to install all the firmware modules provided in http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/stable. One of them must have been the correct firmware, and now I can use the WIFi without any issues.

Thank you.
