slax5.1.8.1 internet

[erabyss]

I am having trouble learning how to get online in slax.

How do you want to go to the internet, i mean by wifi ,ethernet, modem !

in any case when you boot up to Slax type iwconfig then post the output here to see what slax detects for you .

sry I didnt know it made that much differance. ethernet mainly and some wifi.

I will brb after I get what you asked for.

Let's assume that your network interfaces are detected , so iwconfig shows

eth0: ehternet
eth1: wifi .

Ethernet connection :

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.213 ( to provide an ip address )
dhclient eth0 (or dhcpcd eth0 ) .

Wifi Connection :

iwconfig eth1 essid (your_ssid) mode managed key off (or key HSI8264 ........)
dhcpcd eth1 (or dhclient eth1).


Hope this help .

Regards.

It can be a unloaded kernel module for your device or it can be a firmware problem , post please the output of lspci to see wish modules requested by your devices .
