Install zd1211rw firmware: http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/zd1211rw-firmware-2.21.0.0-1.tazpkg
Online
@mojo
thanks for your reply and continued support
there is a problem with the link
is there some documentation that (1) identifies if you need firmware, (2) where to obtain the firmware and, (3) how to package it?
again, thank
Offline
@Imart
The firmware link has no problem.
Every linux wireless driver not provided by the manufacturer requires firmware.
Use the get-wifi-firmware tazpkg script to fetch/install the firmware and use [c]tazpkg repack[/c] to package it.

@mojo - thanks, the site is unavailable
will try your other recommendations

@mojo - FYI
for some reason, the tazpkg looks for the firmware in tux ... see below
#!/bin/sh

modprobe -l | grep -i zd1211rw
lsmod | grep -i zd1211rw
cp /media/USB-12-10/sys/zd1211rw/network.conf /etc/
<bold>tazpkg install /media/MULTIBOOT/sys/zd1211rw/zd1211rw-firmware-2.21.0.0-1.tazpkg</bold>
modprobe -r zd1211rw
modprobe zd1211rw
. /etc/init.d/network.sh stop
. /etc/init.d/network.sh start
