Hi!
I have just installed slitaz on a computer of mine and I need to install the network drivers but there is a problem. I first need to compile the network drivers from source but to do that I need network connection... I must have network connection to install the drivers but can't compile the network drivers without internet... It is pretty annoying. Since I am new to Linux I was wondering if anyone here could help me?
Link to:
README: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
64bits drivers(what I need): http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz
If anyone could compile it and then upload it or tell me how to do it I would be really grateful!

Slitaz has in-kernel forcedeth driver for the nvidia ethernet (eth0) and b43 kernel module for
BCM4311 wireless(wlan0). Slitaz network script only supports one active network interface at a time.
eth0(set as default in /etc/network.conf) :
connect ethernet cable to internet connected router with dhcp server
open terminal,login root:
#/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
Slitaz should get i.p. address and route to internet
wlan0 :
Download firmware : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5197027/slitaz/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg
Install firmware :
#tazpkg install b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg
lsmod
If b43 module is listed unload otherwise just load.
b43 module must be loaded after installing firmware:
#modprobe -r b43
#modprobe b43
Set the wireless router to broadcast ESSID slitaz won't connect if it's hidden.
Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration
Enter root password in subox click ok
Your router should show under essid Name after a few seconds.
Double click the essid of router,enter your WPA password in box,click OK button to connect.
To set default network interface,static ip,other network configurations :
#leafpad /etc/network.conf
