slitaz & wireless, zd1211rw usb card


Ok I give up. I've been banging my head against this one all day with no progress. Started out as fun but I've had enough now.

I have been though various things found on the net, like //doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:wifi-easy ......... but no success.

The issue seems to be the firmware is missing but its not found (anymore) at the link that the get-firmware utility looks at. I have found it manually at a source forge page and seem to get the tar downloaded and extracted but can't install it to the systems satisfaction.

I'm not particularly expert at things linux but I've been around the block a few times over the years.

So, .......... HOW can I get my wireless card to work with slitaz ?

Thanks,

Brian H.

Don't know if this will help, but under Fedora,
Code:
rpm -ql zd1211-firmware-1.4-5.fc15.noarch
produces the following:
