I am trying to get my wifi up on this Dell Insoiron 8600 which has an intel 2200 wireless card. I am a new to Linux but have tried to follow some of the help already posted. For a start I have tried to download the correct package from
http://people.slitaz.org/~mojo/stuff/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg but the link seems broken. Can someone in simple easy to follow terms point me in the right direction please. I do not wish to critisise and I realise that Slitaz has a tiny footprint but does getting a wireless card to work have to be so hard.

It's not an archived file, so you extract it. It's a software package, so you install it by double clicking on the file.
Offline
Trixar_za thnx for response but after extracting no file
plz whats the name of this file and extension ?
Offline
After extracting the folder contains this file :
fs (folder) + files.list + md5sum + receipt
Then Fs folder contains : lib( folder) + usr (folder)
lib folder : Firmware then contains ipw2200-bss.fw + ipw2200-ibss.fw+ipw2200-sniffer.fw + license.ipw2200-fw
and usr folder contains share folder = license folder = intel-ipw2200 license.txt
which file i can doule clik on it ???

hi Waleed,
i opened a terminal as root (open sakura or xterm and type "su" and "root") and typed afterwards as root "pcmanfm".in it.
the PCMan File Manager opens as root and you have read/write permissions in all folders.
i copied the files from the extracted lib folder into /lib/firmware/
after thati did modprobe -r ipw2200, modprobe ipw2200 and continued with setting up the wlan as known.
sorry for my bad english. i hope i could help you.

Hello.
When I read:
It's not an archived file, so you extract it ...
I understand: "something.tazpkg don't have to be extracted"
Stuffs.tazpkg have to be installed, with a double-click on file Stuffs.tazpkg.
Without any extract protocol too (made by user I mean), Stuffs.tazpkg could be installed with CLI.
Are we agree, Trixar_za ?

thanks aniguenni

Offline
Thanks subreptice

ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg is a file that the package manager (tazpkg) can install without you has something to do other than:
[*]open a terminal as root and follow mojo's advices http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/ipw2200-again#post-23341
[*]or as Trixar_za wrote double click on ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg
to install it.
In the last case you'll have to open a terminal as root and follow mojo's instructions from
[c]# modprobe -r ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200
...[/c]

Offline
(in terminal, as root, tazpkg install /home/tux/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg hadn't work ?)
Module of e1000 corresponding with what ? Have look here to find version of module corresponding with your hardware=
http://hardware4linux.info/module/e1000/
You stopped trying to configure wifi, and we now configure ethernet link, right ?
For installing, you know, I have nothing more precise and more pertinent than other answers on this forum,
they are a lot more experienced than me ...
Offline
thanks Subreptice for interest, corresponding for module like b 43 or ipw2200 or ipw2100.

the result unable to find ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg ??????????????
Sorry, my mistake. I forgot to mention that when you use the [c]install[/c] option you must be in the directory where the package is or you must give the path; ie, if you saved ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg in /home/tux:
[c]tazpkg install[/c] /home/tux/ [c]ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg[/c]
when double click on ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg system give me please choose an application from the following lists or enter the command live by hand ????
When double clicking on a .tazpkg file, SliTaz always open a Slitaz-su box and ask you to enter the root password ([c]root[/c] from a LiveCD).
Enter root's password and click on [Install] button in the TazPKG Action box and that's all; tazpkg will extract and install the package for you.

http://doc.slitaz.org/
Choose your language, then Guides, then in Networking / LAN section, Wifi easy (read Wifi hard too, it can help you to understand things).
You are new to Linux. You must search and read documentations on the site first. If you need explanations or support don't hesitate to post. I know some documentations are not updated.
EDIT: What version of SliTaz do you use? From a full install or a Live CD/USB?

@ Waleed
Take care, re-readind my last post I saw an error in the command I've written: there is no space between the path and the name of the package.
The right syntax is:
[c]tazpkg install /home/tux/ipw2200-firmware-3.1.tazpkg[/c]
Sorry.

@Ceel

1-when write :Open 2nd terminal to monitor firmware/module load:
tail -f /var/log/messages
== the result :BustBox V1.12.0(2010-03-12 18:25:03 Cet) multi-call binary

This is not your wireless card but your ethernet card. Please post the entire result of [c]lspci -nn[/c]. I know, it can be long...
my lan card on Windows show is Realtek RT8187SE Wireless Lan PCIE Network adapters
I had a look on Realtek site. I'm affraid there is no linux driver for it.
And ipw2200 firmware has no utility for you.

@Cell
