Hallo together,
my problem is the W Lan does not work on my machine.
My machine is an THINKPAD T410s from LENOVO, everything is doing well just the most imported thing for me the W Lan is not working. Has anybody a idea which driver i need and how to put them in the tar file?

@ trekstore ... output from

(looking for the wireless hardware item -- don't need the whole output)

@ Trekstore ... I suspect the problem is going to be that 'network controller ... unknown' device.

I wonder, you probably boot windows on that machine? Any better name for the wifi device available from win device manager?

Hopefully someone else will be able to run with this, but it has gone out of my range of helpfulness.

Oh ... might be useful to download a fresh version of Porteus -- has drivers that were not available when slax was compiled.

In case you want to keep on using slax, and are in for some FAQ reading etc.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&lang=eng

A linux driver 4 your wireless should be available over there.


- make sure to:

-- make backup of your changes directory or savechanges.dat file
-- make sure to use "save changes"..


or you can try an existing wireless card driver from:
http://www.slax.org/modules.php

good luck with it.

Man you have a lot of unknown devices. I suggest you update your pci.ids file and run lspci again.

wget http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.bz2
gunzip pci.ids.gz
mv /usr/share/pci.ids /usr/share/pci.ids.bak
cp pci.ids /usr/share


Also some useful info here:
