Re: [SliTaz] Cheap USB WiFi Adapter for SliTaz

[Marcus <caim_de_nod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


    Thanks for your answer, Patrick. At the moment I have no way to 
access the internet with the computer on which I installed SliTaz (I do 
not have physical access to the router to use the ethernet connection). 
I will try to download the packages in this computer on which I write 
via wget and then look for a way to create a local repository on the 
computer with SliTaz for tazpkg to reference it.
 I remember having already used SliTaz LiveCD, without installing any 
extra packages, and being able to use the WiFi network "ready" - was 
looking for some USB WiFi adapter that would work that way, that's the 
case of those you recommended?

    Last night I had access to the router and I was able to connect the 
computer with SliTaz to the internet, so I tried to update the system 
(with tazpkg recharge // tazpkg up) three times and the same problem 
always occurred: when restarting the system, it was locked after the 
login screen, either by logging in with the normal user or as root, the 
only sollutions I thinked is reinstalling SliTaz. So I gave up trying to 
update the system so I wouldn't have to keep reinstalling SlTaz several 
times, and I went to installing the packages I needed. If I can download 
the packages by wget, I can try to update the system once more as you 
recommend, but I think it will give the same problem.

    The output of the command uname -a is "Linux slitaz 
3.18.129-gnu-slitaz #2 SMP Mon Nov 18 10:58:12 CET 2019 i686 GNU/Linux" 
- the date and time are incorrect, make a few minutes only that I 
executed the command, but have not yet adjusted these settings.

Thank you for your help,
Marcus
