no wifi in slitaz

funky445o · 2013-06-05 19:33:42

I have a Linksys Network PC Card model no.WPC11 but I scan if any networks are around but zero.Can someone please help me? What info do I need to give?In puppy Linux sometimes WiFi works when it acquires an IP address it loads the Orinoco_cs driver.Do I need to get that driver in slitaz?Should I use ndiswrapper? I hope I don't have to use ndiswrapper because its difficult to get make.anyone?

Slitaz 4.0 has the orinoco_cs driver.

orinoco_cs is not loaded.

Open terminal,su, password: root

[c]# modprobe orinoco_cs[/c]

Rerun the previous commands

lsmod <= verify orinoco_cs is listed

[c]# ls /sys/class/net[/c] <= will list the alias for your wifi adapter if the driver is working.

Edit /etc/network.conf

Enter the correct alias: INTERFACE= and WIFI_INTERFACE=

Change DHCP="no" to DHCP="yes"

For WEP remove the quotes "": change WIFI_KEY="1234567890" to WIFI_KEY=1234567890

[c]# iwconfig[/c] <= will show the wifi card info if the drivers correct and working.

Stop/start network if the above indicates the wifi adapter is live:

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh stop[/c]

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh start[/c]

[c]ifconfig[/c] <= show your adapter has an ip address

[c]ping www.slitaz.org[/c] <= if ping reply then dns and internet is working

funky445o · 2013-06-05 21:35:24

Orinoco is listed I edited the network config file,ls /sys/class/net shows dummy0 and lo,iwconfig only shows lo no wireless extensions. dummy0 no wireless extensions. My wireless card doesn't show up as wlan0 or eth0 or something.

Open a 2nd terminal to monitor kernel messages:

tail -f /var/log/messages

In first terminal:

[c]# modprobe -r orinoco_cs[/c]

[c]# modprobe orinoco_cs[/c]

Post any error messages in 2nd terminal related to orinoco_cs being loaded/unloaded.

Some wifi adapters that use orinoco_cs require firmware installed which is not on the livecd.

There will be a firmware failed to load error message with the firmware name.

Sorry,I shouldn't have had you run the eject command.

The card has to be inserted while the commands are run and the driver loaded to get the information I need.

I didn't get any info other than the pci.ids which indicates the driver is correct.

funky445o · 2013-06-05 23:28:10

OK lol.I appreciate The fast responses thanks a lot.lol

Well the card was inserted when I ran all the commands.yup

But the eject command screwed it up right? Do I need to run them again? Well then OK.

funky445o · 2013-06-06 00:30:46

maybe i needed to do this all as root? Could that perhaps be the reason for the Operation not permitted in last line? Is that enough info?

mojo · 2013-06-06 00:35:41

You have to be root to modprobe:

tux@slitaz:~$ su

Password: <=type root, then hit the enter key

root@slitaz:/home/tux#

The # in front of commands means do it as user root.

Do this only:

[c]# modprobe -r orinoco_cs[/c]

[c]# modprobe orinoco_cs[/c]

I'm hoping when you modprobe orinoco_cs as root a firmware loading error will appear in the 2nd terminal.

If missing firmware is not the problem I have no idea why the wifi adapter is not working.

oh ok. here is the output of modprobe...
