hi. i would like to install slitaz however i will not do it until i get a wifi fix for my machine. 4.0 core boots fine but wifi driver is not supported or something. i tried alot of them, besides the load button appears to do nothing it doesn't even give me a confirmation when i click load or unload the button just clicks that is it.
my wifi driver is r8712u on bodhi ubuntu/debian.
i am VERY inexperienced with slitaz and ANYTHING that is not ubuntu related.
please help. this would be awesome to play games on since it only takes up like 35 ram on my 1gig. thanks to any help

Googling for "r8712u" I found this link: rtl819x - Debian Wiki.
And searching for rtl819x I found that you need linux-wireless package.
Do you know how to install package?
You can follow link: http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi?info=linux-wireless (default login: root, password: root) and press "Install" to install this package.

thank you for checking into that. no with slitaz i don't know how to install things i am so used to using synaptic and gui ways without using terminals. the only problem is... the link you gave me i have to have internet already right by like a wired connection cuz that url looks wierd to me. i am using bodhi right now. i only have a wifi connection right now so any kind of packages i have to download to my hard drive and save them there then use slitaz live iso 4.0core to get to the packages on my hard drive. i aint going to install slitaz to my drive until i know the wifi will work. simply because i run into grub boot problems if i go with anything other than ubuntu. thanks

That is not weird link 
It's link to TazPanel aka SliTaz administration panel. Of course, its works only in SliTaz. TazPanel makes easy many things and it better to me to give you one link than write 2-3 paragraphs.
Anyway, you can search and download SliTaz packages using our service: http://pkgs.slitaz.org from any browser and any OS. And you can share links, like this: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?package=linux-wireless&version=s
Just follow this link to find 'linux-wireless' package. On that page you can press link to download package.
To install separate package in the SliTaz you can just double-click package. Next, enter root password, and press 'Install' button. If package have unresolved dependencies, you'll see it. If you have active internet connection, all dependencies will be installed automatically.

Open a 2nd terminal to view kernel errors:
[c]tail -f /var/log/messages[/c]
Load broadcom module in other terminal:
[c]# modprobe wl[/c]
Find wifi device alias:
[c]ls /sys/class/net[/c]
On most hardware it will be eth1
Configure network:
[c]leafpad /etc/network.conf[/c]
Add wifi device alias to INTERFACE="" and WIFI_INTERFACE="" and wifi access point connection info
Start networking:
[c]# /etc/init.d/networking.sh start[/c]
If you have problems:
Post any kernel errors from 2nd terminal related to loading wl

Thank you mojo for your support. I hate bothering people with such annoying questions, but I wasn't able to make it by myself

I tried to do it with slitaz-4.0-justx.iso, and in this case the wifi switch stays orange all the time (which means hardware is off) and I'm not able to turn it on - pushing it doesn't change anything
Maybe that's the clue. What could be a reason of such behaviour?
Offline
does your laptop has a switch to disable wifi?
i can't see any wifi device in your [c]ls /sys/class/net[/c]
Offline
Yes, it has a switch, however pushing it has no effect
Normally, when I start windows, it works as expected
Offline
me dumb, you just told that you have a non working switch when i asked you :-)
lsmod output ?
tail -f /var/log/messagestail -f /var/log/messages while you push the switch ?

Install rfkill

Is your wireless device listed?
If your wireless device is Hard blocked: Yes and/or Soft blocked: Yes

I don't see wl module loaded in lsmod output.

Retry rfkill commands.

After modprobing wl (loaded, visible in lsmod output) rfkill gives the same message

modprobe rfkill ?

@tazpider
broadcom-wl on slitaz-4.0 works with BCM4311 wifi chipset, rfkill list all returns nothing on my laptop.
My wifi adapter turns-on/off with keyboard switch.
ls /sys/class/net shows adapter still registers when powered off with rmmod wl followed by modprobe wl.
Posting output of commands on my system to give you an idea as to what you should see.

I've made live usb stick with 'justx' flavour by tazlito
There are no packages for wireless on it, so I installed:
[c]linux-wireless
broadcom-wl[/c]
Maybe something else is missing?
Offline
Did you install rfkill?
Is hal running? /etc/init.d/hald restart
Did you modprobe wl and rfkill?
Lsmod output?
Ls /sys/class/net?
Please don't change settings between posts, it' a little bit confusing.
Offline
As I mentioned before, I use live usb (don't have system installed on hdd), so I need to install and update configuration each time I turn it on 
But in general settings are the same.
Did you install rfkill? YES
Is hal running? /etc/init.d/hald restart YES
Did you modprobe wl and rfkill? YES
Lsmod output?

well, at least the rfkill error is gone. take a pen, write exactly what you have done and do it again every time you reboot :-)
reading this
http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=rfkill&version=s
the package hal-info seems to contain some suspicious hal rules, try to install it, restart hal and test if keyboard switch get recognized.
if not please try rolling too, newer kernel usually means more supported hardware
Offline
try modprobe cfg80211 too
Offline
Unfortunaltely [c]hal-info[/c] nor [c]modprobe cfg80211[/c] didn't change the situation
I'm giving up temporarily, maybe 5.0 will fix the issue. I guess this laptop is quite new model (hp probook 6475b) so maybe new kernel is the solution
Anyways thank you guys for your help and patience
P.S. If I try rolling and it works - I will post info here

http://www.linlap.com/hp_probook_6475b
is the "proprietary Broadcom wl driver" the one linked by Mojo?
check this too

don't give up...
