help to enable wireless!

hello everybody!

I am a new user (from Peru)

slitaz works excellent on dell latitude d610...

I am using midori + flash and the wired navigation is awesome (even running live cd)...

unfortunately wireless doesnt work, I tried some suggestions (google), but I cant...

so my first question: can anybody help me to enable the wireless connection on this laptop?

thanks for pay attention,

best wishes!

Re: help to enable wireless!

hi mojo!

I executed "lspci -nn" and there are too much text. Now I dont have a mouse because I just like to use keyboard, but I cant copy and paste the whole text (I tried selecting the text, CTRL+C, CTRL+SHIFT+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+SHIFT+V, SHIFT+INSERT).

So I had to write this line:

03:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG [Calexico2] Network Connection [8086:4223] (rev.05)

But there is another big problem:

I cant run slitaz 4.0 anymore (...[<c1003a69>]? common interrupt +0x29/0x30... panic ocurred, switching back to text console) I tried many times and once again I could do it, but when I was using midori the problem began again. I did the installation from an iso file (/home/tux/...), swap partition is 2 GB (I have 1512 RAM), root partition is 10 GB (ext4), I didnt create Home partition, ...

so now I have more problems: enable wireless, copy and past text from terminal without using mouse, fix the problem (...common interrupt...)

see you! bye!

hi mojo!

thanks for helping me!

you know I am desperate! I cant try what you tell me, I was searching how to fix the problem ("...common interrupt...", "...kernel panic..."), but there is nothing... I think I will make a new post, about this issue

I hope this issue can be fixed so I will try to enable the wireless
