I am a newbie to linux - the only experience I had was with Ubuntu and even there not too technical, so pardon me if I make any stupid assumptions/errors.
I installed Slitaz 4.0 stable from a liveCD onto the harddrive yesterday on a Dell inspiron 1420, and haven´t been able to get wifi or stable ethernet (not enough to surf the web, but there are a few kb sent and received).
Here´s what I get after input lspci | grep -i network
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
I tried to download packages recommended by threads on the net, but with tazpkg get-install I get the error message: wget : bad address; even after changing the mirror to different urls that are said to work.
After checking, though, all of the packages I tried to download were all in >my packages< already, except the broadcom-wl. I am not sure about whether or not firmware is already in my system, and not sure how to check, either.
My wifi network is WPA.
Also the Network device type is ethernet whether I set Connection to wlan0 or eth0, if that indicates anything?
I would really appreciate any help, thank you!

mojo,
I followed the directions and had
ifconfig eth1
ifconfig: eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
Offline
Verify wl is loaded:
[c]lsmod[/c]
Restart networking:
[c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]
Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration
root click ok button
Dbl click router to either connect or enter password click ok to connect.
Post the output from these commands if you need more help:

thank you again..
PS. Also, after I restart the computer, default reverts back to wlan0, b43 appears again, and wl disappears from lsmod.

Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1713] (rev 02)
Requires b44 module which conflicts with wl module.
Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
You have to use b43 module for wireless which requires installing firmware.
Download: http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg
Copy to flash drive move to SliTaz 4.0
Open terminal,su ,password: root
[c]tazpkg install b43-firmware-4.150.10.5.tazpkg[/c]
[c]modprobe -r b43 ; modprobe b43[/c]
Applications/System Tools/Wifi configuration
Password: root , click OK button
Dbl click WAP to connect, or enter WPA Password: click OK if secure to connect.

it run on sfr wifi fon but the good one its essid: NEUF_0AG5
i think, but i'm not sure there is a conflict between wpa-supplicant and Networkmanager
because after running the wpa driver:
# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
i've got:
ioctl [SIOCSIWSCAN]: Device or ressource busy
Failed to initiate AP scan.

Is your Wifi modem configured to use WPA encryption?
Are you sure the ESSID is NEUF_0AG5 and not NEUF_OAG5 ?
