Hi,
I've installed SliTaz 4 on an Acer mini PC, and the WiFi hardware isn't detected at all: on European forums it looks like it's using a Ralink 3090 chip, but all my attempts to work on that basis have failed (the model has been bought in US, though).
What I get is:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# lspci | grep Net
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8193
02:00.1 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8193 (rev 01)
(yes, two of them, it seems the separate b/g from n)
I haven't been able to work out the module I need: on the net there's also quite a big confusion between 8193 & 8139, in the few forums I've found references to 8193 the replies talk about 8139!
Can anyone shed any light on it?
TIA

Compat-wireless are some of the latest wireless drivers included in the newest kernel adapted to compile on the older 2.6 kernel. The rtl8192de driver is included in the rtlwifi bundle.

Mojo,
I now see that you've edited your post!
The original one (that I received by mail) just stated the need to compile the drivers, so I did most of what you're writing finding it out myself (and spending a good part of the weekend on it)...
Anyway, it's now at least detecting the card(s): I'll try to do some tests later, and if everything goes well I'll mark this as solved.
Thanks for your invaluable help!
P.S: Is there a way so that the forum can alert via email not only for a new post, but also for an edited one?

Everything up and running!
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

Hi Mojo,
I've been trying for two days to get the wireless to work on a Slitaz 4.0 LiveCD/virtualbox. I stumbled on this post from my searching which I think can help as another poster "wireless connection problem - WPA2" used it to get his chipset working. I was trying your steps but I'm running into this error: env: can't execute 'bash': No such file or directory, when executing this command: ./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi. Can you help please? Here's some more info:
