Hello everyone, I'm new in this forum, and in the SliTaz/Linux world too.
English isn't my first language, so I'll try to speak it right!
I'm resurrecting an old pc, and I think SliTaz it's perfect for this!
But.. I'm stuck installig the wireless card.
I've got the TP-LINK TL-WN722N USB wireless card. I've tried all the packages advised in forums, but still don't work.
The packages I've tried are:
.linux-libre-wireless-2.6.37-libre
.linux-wireless-2.6.37
.usbids-20111016
.usbutils-004
.libusb-compat-0.1.3
.libusb-1.0.8
SliTaz still don't see my USB wireless card :'(
Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi,
Output from this command probably will be useful:
lsusb
ip link
lsmod|grep ath
I think this card use ath9k modules. You can try type: modprobe ath9k_htc, and then check is card is available by:
ip link
There should be wlan0 on the list.
Sorry if this too obvious ;-)

Thank you a lot for your help!
The output from those commands is like Arab, for me. And I can't speak it.
So, I'll post a screen!

As you can see, there's no "wlan0".

Download firmware:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_7010.fw
http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/htc_9271.fw
Open terminal,su,password: root
Copy the 2 firmware files to /lib/firmware
# [c]cp *.fw /lib/firmware[/c]
Reload driver:
# [c]modprobe -r ath9k_htc ; modprobe ath9k_htc[/c]
Restart networking:
# [c]/etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]

All done!
..and this is what I get:

What's wrong with this Wifi key??

The wifi adapter is still the problem.
[1]Open 2nd terminal to monitor kernel messages while firmware/module loads:
[c]tail -f /var/log/messages[/c]
Go to first terminal:
[c]# modprobe -r ath9k_htc ; modprobe ath9k_htc[/c]
Post any errors related to module,firmware,or rfkill switch in the 2nd terminal.

Hi Emanuele,
I saw the known words in your listing—
Operation not possible due to RF-kill
RF-kill is hardware switch to power on/off your Wi-Fi card. I have this one in my netbook, and it work, and I can switch off my Wi-Fi card.
My RF-kill switch is separate slide-key. But on your machine it can be as Fn+Fx key combination. Look more closely to find RF-kill switch.
That would be the easiest solution!
+++
Oh, no! I'm silly. I have just looked at your picture. Your Wi-Fi not seem like switch-offed 
May be it's known bug with /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/resolv.conf when you can connect to internet only under root? This bug fixed, upgrade your ppp package. No?
And my out:

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was

Hi mojo and Emanuele,
First at all, execuse me for changing your posts—using of backticks making it easier to read listings.
mojo, rfkill looks like it does not work for me, and everytime shows me that all unblocked (like as it in Emanuele) regardless if I kill my Wi-Fi card or no.

OH MAN YOU'RE A PRO!!
Works like a charm!
I've turned off my wireless encryption and now SliTaz can connect to it. I'm writing from SliTaz 
I've also tried to re-encrypt the network with WEP open: SliTaz cannot connect to it.
But if I use WPA it works.
Why SliTaz cannot recognize WEP encryption? Is this normal?
However, thanks a lot for your time and your help.

Congratulations, Emanuele!
WEP cracking can be done in just a few minutes, don't use it!
Quote from Wikipedia article Wired Equivalent Privacy:
WEP has been demonstrated to have numerous flaws and has been deprecated in favor of newer standards such as WPA2
Offline
Good to hear it works with no security.
Try the edit on the WEP key I mentioned above.
There should be a space between = and samsung123456
WEP worked for Imart in this thread:
