My initial message seems to irritate get-feeds.php (because of imbedded control characters), so that the slitaz home page shows a lot of error messages in the activity window.
I am sorry for that.

Hi Hans,
I removed all the control characters from your post and added "code backticks".
Have a nice day!

you have to change network.conf and
/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
Offline
After setting WIFI="yes" in /etc/network.conf
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
results in:
Loading network settings from /etc/network.conf
Stopping all interfaces
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: Kein passendes Gerät gefunden
Killing all daemons
killall: udhcpc: no process killed
wlan0 No such device
wlan0 is not a Wi-Fi interface, changing it.

network.sh looks for wlan0 in /sys/class/net, but there is no such device:
$ ls /sys/class/net
dummy0 eth1 eth2 lo tunl0
$ find /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/ -name "net"
shows only:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0/net
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:03:00.0/net
and these are the ethernet adapters only:
# ls /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:02:00.0/net
eth1
# ls /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:03:00.0/net
eth2
I think something goes wrong with
# modprobe iwlwifi
that loads the drivers but does not create a device tree for wlan0 in /sys/devices
On another computer with another WLAN adapter (Ralink), after modprobe a new branch in the devices tree is created for wlan0.

iwlwifi-3160 requires iwlmvm firmware loading is not enabled in the 64-bit kernel.

Thank you Richard,
your resolution is a full success:
The module iwlwifi is now loaded automagically after booting SliTaz Rolling 64bit flavor and wlan0 shows up and can be configured.
