cooking 20110531 : wifi : no network recognized and a mystérious message glib-networking

hello

i"m new here, and just installed slitaz

cooking 20110531 on usb key as nomade system

on different types of machines (base one is laptop dell x300)

i cannot get connected to my network with wifi : everything is installed,

i use a ralink wifi key wich uses a rt73usb driver, everything seems to be

perfect (autodetected and installed) but the wifi of my house is'nt recognised

and the essid of my wifi network is not even listed after scanning

result of  lsusb -v :

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0a16:9903

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c03*

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 413c:9001

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c016

(yes i typed "-v")

07d1:3c03=d-link-dwl-122

see : http://www.linuxine.com/story/50-works-great-d-link-dwl-g122

system information confirms driver is rt73usb**...

** with debian i use "firmware-ralink_0.28_all.deb" : can it be used for slitaz or is it any other reason why i can't get it to work ?

i've tried with stable 3.0 and get same results.  I also tried with

a belkin key : idem. Am i doing anything wrong ? wired network works fine

(although configuration of things looks a little weird to me)

also a "glib-networking" is said missing when trying to use https on browsers...

and no way to install it...

thanks

Re: cooking 20110531 : wifi : no network recognized and a mystérious message glib-networking

You need to install firmware.

Cooking: connected to internet

#tazpkg recharge

#tazpkg get-install get-wifi-firmware

Not connected:

#tazpkg convert firmware-ralink_0.28_all.deb

#tazpkg install /path/to/firmware-ralink_0.28_all.tazpkg

Verify firmware is in /lib/firmware

Unload/load the driver after you install firmware or reboot

lsusb not displaying usb-id info is known problem

Installing glib-networking allows access to https.

hi mojo

thanks for replying

i'll try your suggestions. how about the (already) installed rt73usb driver ?

same with the belkin driver wich is automatically installed when i switch to a belkin key ?

please note the glib-networking was not installable by the time i wrote

the message... (may be i was not using correctly the search function of tazpkg ?)

EDIT :

you said :

"You need to install firmware.

Cooking: connected to internet

#tazpkg recharge

#tazpkg get-install get-wifi-firmware"

this is what i did and everything went fine except it's still not functionning

after that i did the conversion of the .deb, and run modprobe rt73usb

but now i have no more access to networkmanager ...

see you later

Hi,

No your search was correct, I commited glib-networking after your post and it will be installed by default in next ISO.

For rt73usb, you need 2 file: the kernel module rt73usb and the non-free firmware rt73.bin. The kernel module should be load after the firmware is installed. And since we getting few users with this problem I did some packages for Slitaz and may include them in ISO also since we already have non-free code via linux-firmware. Can you try to boot, unload the rt73usb module, install package and then load the module:

# modprobe -r rt73usb

Get: http://people.slitaz.org/~pankso/packages/rt73-firmware-1.8.tazpkg

# tazpkg -i rt73-firmware-1.8.tazpkg

# modprobe -v rt73usb

You can check if the kernel handle hardware via: dmesg

hi pankso,

i cannot get it to work. it seems driver is installed, recognised AND installed, the network is detected, but i cannot get connected on the wifi when entering my pass nothing happens. Don't understand why i think i'll just forget it... i have the essid displayed but when clicking to "connexion" after entering wpa pass nothing happens and i noticed even the leds on the key are not  blinking as usual during network identification process

too bad i like slitaz and feel bad to leave it just for that but half of time i need wifi...

i have gathered some infos see attached files

see you another time may be thanks for your help,

ani

ps sorry for empty post above don't know how to remove it
