Well, they are both detected.
Where are you running into problems?

**donaldfarkas** · 10-09-2011

Sorry i'm not sure how to set the wifi up i don't see any program to do it with. I just installed slack couple hours ago.

**cynwulf** · 10-09-2011

I only installed today myself...

I installed wicd to manage wired/wireless connections

Code:

slackpkg install wicd

If you haven't already enabled a repository mirror, edit /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and uncomment just one repo (closest to you). Then first do

Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all

**donaldfarkas** · 10-09-2011

no internet on laptop. would it be on the 4GB install cd?

**cynwulf** · 10-09-2011

Your wired connection should still work, can you plug in an ethernet cable to your router/switch? Wicd is on the DVD, there is a repo which points to it, you can try uncommenting just that one and see if you can install it from there.

**donaldfarkas** · 10-09-2011

Using ethernet cable is not an option i only have access to wireless. I managed to install it from the DVD media.

**jayd512** · 10-09-2011

That adds a twist to things...

But you'll most likely need the b43-firmware to get wireless going.
This can be installed from SlackBuilds.org: SlackBuilds.org

If you can download the builds to another computer and move them over, you should be able to get everything going.
