I have a Sony laptop - PCG-FX250
I'm running Slitaz 4.0 stable
I have a Dell TrueMobile 1300 PCMCIA wireless card (tested and working on Windoze)
I've searched the forums and followed instructions by mojo.
Here is the requested output from tail (duplicates removed):

After following instructions, I rebooted.
When the system came up, neither wireless nor wired network worked.
I was able to get wired working again.
What else can I do to get wireless working?

Wireless not working is not enough info.
When you opened Wifi configuration was the wireless access point showing.
Did you install firmware,follow this:
http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/wifi-stumped-wpc11-pcmcia-card-on-old-laptop-have-ethernet
If so you may need to configure the network:
As root:
leafpad /etc/network.conf
It's well commented,it only can manage one interface,either ethernet or wireless.
ls /sys/class/net will output the wireless adapters alias name for INTERFACE=
The wireless access point must broadcast an ESSID name.
restart networking
/etc/init.d/network.sh restart
I always try to connect before rebooting.
If you need to change network.conf , restart networking to enable new configuration.
WIFI="yes" enables wireless on boot

[resolved] Dell TrueMobile 1300 wireless card working in 4.0 stable.
I don't know the correct way to switch from wlan0 to eth0 and back to wlan0.
Any thoughts?
Here's the scenario:
I'd like to normally boot with WIFI="yes".
However, for fastest download I like to connect wired (eth0)
Then, I'd like to switch back to wlan0.

Follow this:
http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:network-script
Usage
But, most interestingly, is that /etc/init.d/network.sh may also use another config file.
It's useful if you're using a laptop, as you can configure multiple connections for multiple access points.
This also works to pre-configure a different network adapter.
Use the default /etc/network.conf for wireless so you boot to wireless.
#cp /etc/network.conf /etc/eth0
Configure /etc/eth0 for ethernet
#leafpad /etc/eth0
Switch to ethernet
#/etc/init.d/network.sh restart /etc/eth0
Switch to wireless
#/etc/init.d/network.sh restart

Thanks again mojo. I can switch as you describe.
