Hello, I don't have any clue about how to connect to Internet
from Slitaz (Slitaz 5 rolling iso, on an usb stick).
That's all!
When I tried Ubuntu, basically I didn't need to do anything,
I've been able to connect by tetheryng and by using wi-fi card; but
on my old pc it was too slow, while Slitaz is amazong fast.
Can anybody please tell me how to connect?
I don't have any networking/hardware background.
Thank you very much,
Saveria.
p.s.: in attachment what I got with lshw on Ubuntu about my wi-fi card

@shann, thanks
@slitta,
Open a terminal and become root (su/root)
Check the module for your Wi-Fi interface is loaded
[c]lsmod[/c]
you should see [c]iwl3945[/c] in the displayed list ; if not
[c]modprobe iwl3945[/c]
Modify your [c]/etc/network.conf[/c] file: set
[c]WIFI="no"[/c] to [c]WIFI="yes"[/c]
[c]WIFI_ESSID="any"[/c] to [c]WIFI_ESSID="your_essid"[/c]
[c]WIFI_KEY_TYPE="any"[/c] to [c]WIFI_KEY_TYPE="WPA"[/c] (or [c]WEP[/c] or [c]EAP[/c], depends of your rooter configuration
ànd fill [c]WIFI_KEY=""[/c] with your WPA/WEP/EAP key
Restart the network
[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]
Wi-Fi should work; if not, post the return of [c]lsmod[/c] and your network.conf (without your Wi-Fi key)
Note that spaces are not allowed in [c]ESSID[/c] and [c]WIFI_KEY[/c] field.

Hi slitta,
[c]Could not set interface wlan0 flags (UP): Cannot allocate memory[/c] seem strange.
Can you post /var/log/dmesg.log and /var/log/boot.log file please, suspect firmware missing.
I found we have this package "firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20200515.tazpkg", think miss for your wifi card work.
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20200515.tazpkg
On my side need firwmare-ipw2100 for my wifi card intel pro 2100 work on dell x300 
Follow this :
- download package and put in on your usb key
- install it with [c]tazpkg -i <path_to/firmware-iwlwifi-3945-20200515.tazpkg>[/c]
- reload driver with [c]rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945[/c]
- adjust /etc/network.conf to have right wifi configuration
- restart network with [c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]

Check also your Wi-Fi interface is not hard/soft blocked.
Install [c]rfkill[/c]
[c]tazpkg -gi rfkill[/c]
then type
[c]rfkill list[/c]
If the card is soft blocked
[c]rfkill unblock <Wi-Fi_identifier>[/c]
and restart network
[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]

Thanks, I'll try as soon as possible, probably I'll have to be absent some days.
Did you mean that I can run
tazpkg -gi rfkill
from Slitaz without connection?
