WiFi woes

I've just installed slitaz-4.0 an am having problems with the wifi. At first I thought it may be the interface name, which was eth0, so I changed it to wlan0. That didn't help though so I tried running that network.sh that was recommended in some other posts, but that dodn't work either so I'm stuck. Anyway, here is some stuff I've tried and settings. If you can see anything here I can change, let me know.

Thanks.

root@slitaz:/home/asdf# /etc/init.d/network.sh start

ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

Configuring wlan0...                                                 [ OK ]

Starting udhcpc client on: wlan0...

udhcpc (v1.18.4) started

Re: WiFi woes

Ah, ok. I have it sorted now. Had to download firmware for zd1211rw from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/#Firmware and copied it to /lib/firmware

TIL how to install firmware in Linux.
