| 29 | +<body> |

| 31 | +<p> |
| 32 | +Sure, you just need to copy the firmware to /lib/firmware and reload your |
| 33 | +wireless cards modules. In the example below I install the firmware for a Ralink |
| 34 | +RT2501USB wireless LAN chipset, that requires non-free firmware for their |
| 35 | +operation, which can not be included on the Live DVD because of license issues. |
| 36 | +I copy the firmware from a 2GB usb stick. |
| 37 | +</p> |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +<pre caption="Install the firmware"> |
| 40 | +First lets mount the usb stick |
| 41 | +# <i>mkdir /mnt/pin</i> |
| 42 | +# <i>cp /mnt/pin/firmware/rt73.bin /lib/firmware</i> |
| 43 | +Now remove the current modules so we can reload and include the firmware. |
| 44 | +# <i>modprobe -r rt73usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib</i> |
| 45 | +Time to insert modules amd load firmware. |
| 46 | +# <i>modprobe rt73usb</i> |
| 47 | +Lets restart wicd to pickup wlan0 |
| 48 | +# <i>/etc/init.d/wicd restart</i> |
