My lifebook has an Intel Centrino Wireless N-2200 card. I searched a driver for it but I didn't find one for linux.
Am I condemned to use Windows and internet explorer to be connected when I'm in an hotel ?

Identify the wifi adapter chipset vendor and product id.
Open terminal,type the command applicable to the adapter form factor,hit Enter:
For Built-in wireless(pci,mini-pci),32-bit pc card(pcmcia,cardbus,expresscard)
[c]lspci -nn[/c]
For USB wireless adapter
[c]lsusb[/c]

Thanks mojo,

Slitaz-4.0
Linux slitaz 2.6.37-slitaz #2 SMP Wed Mar 7 10:36:39 CET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
Compat-wireless are some of the latest wireless drivers included in the newest kernel adapted to compile on the older 2.6 kernel.
All commands as root in terminal:
tazpkg -gi slitaz-toolchain
tazpkg -gi linux-source
get-linux-source
wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless.tar.bz2
tar jxvf compat-wireless.tar.bz2
cd into the extracted folder compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx
The folder name is appended with download date.
cd compat-wireless-2012-11-07

make install

Hey Mojo,
I think you are a Magician. Just add at your procedure
# tazpkg -gi bash
because requested and is not a dependence of glibc-dev anymore as it was with SliTaz 3.0
But unfortunately still not working :
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2
Did I forget something ?

The build environment is incomplete
Verify linux source is installed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.37
du -sh /usr/src
513.8M /usr/src
Online
# du -sh /usr/src
328.0K /usr/src
I see. My problem is that get-linux-source downloads linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 in /home/slitaz/4.0 folder and I use a liveUSB with a very small capacity. SliTaz 3.0 loaded linux-2.6.30.6.tar.bz2 in /usr/src so I didn't have any problem.
Well, I'm going to try to download the file on my HD and to untar it manually at the right place.

Found a simpler way. I've modified /etc/slitaz/slitaz.conf as follow:
in COMMON DIRECTORIES section
########################
# COMMON DIRECTORIES
########################
.../...
# Slitaz directory.
SLITAZ_DIR="/home/slitaz" >>> SLITAZ_DIR="/usr/slitaz"
all seems fine now till:
# make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.37-slitaz/build M=/media/disk/compat-wireless-2012-11-07 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.37'

Why is make trying to compile i915 module?
There is no compat-wireless-xxxx-xx-xx/driver/gpu/drm/i915 directory path
Your problems are above my pay grade

I tried again tonight. All went fine this time.
Probably I've made a mistake or missed something last night.
But, no chance. SliTaz still does not see my wireless card.
